Ok so, my very first outbreak was in June of 2015 and it was on my perennial area/butt cheek. That first outbreak was very itchy.

 I may or may not have had a few mild subsequent outbreaks in my rectal area but I can never tell for sure because they've been so mild. 

But last week I think I may have had my first ever outbreak on my vaginal area and it was so different. All of a sudden I felt an intense burning sensation. I thiught I may have spilled a chemical and burned myself cause it came so all of a sudden.  I ran to the bathroom and splashed water on it and then slathered it with coconut oil.

The burning sensation went away and I inspected closer and found a tiny area that looks like a big flat blister. (Not huge but the size of a pea) It was not like an area with many tiny blisters so I'm still not sure if it is infact an outbreak?

 

I'm not sure what I'm looking for in this post. I guess I'm wondering if it's common for one outbreak to be itchy and then another outbreak to feel like an intense chemical burn?

I won't lie. I have always considered myself rather lucky to have hsv show up in my rectal region rather than on my vagina, as stupid as that may sound. But I guess it decided to erupt where it decided to erupt :|

If we are all interested in better treatments like priletivir, or find a cure with crispr we must unite and make a network of ong hsv to have more influence in the government and to be able to finance those researchers who are more promising

I really suggest you take the meds appropriate for an OB, and when you're done with the treatment proceed to strengthen your immune system. When I have OBs I use 100% tea tree oil but I dilute it a bit with water. Also I take vitamin D, C, E, & Lysine. Avoid junck food and sugary drinks. Rest is most important, don't walk too much and just keep the area as clean as possible.

I know a 100% natural way to treat OBS seems appealing and like the right way to go, but really there is no better and faster way of getting rid of the annoying obs than medication.

Hope you feel better.

Thank you lizzi. I appreciate the response. I don't mean to offend anyone but antivirals really screwed me up and I am not interested in ever taking them again. 

 

I was just curious if it's common for one outbreak to feel itchy and then another outbreak to feel like a chemical burn?

I just wanted to update this. I think I figured out what happened. I think I actually gave my vagina a chemical burn from a hot pepper! 

I remember cutting a pepper that day and then I touched myself and felt an incredibly painful burning sensation immediately after!

Lol! It wasn't an outbreak after all!

I have had 3 ob on my butt cheek, is it common to have an outbreak on the genital area if I have only had it elsewhere?

I'm not sure.

 

I believe it can pop out anywhere in the boxer short region. But it's probably more common to pop up around the same area, as your first, for the most part. But...there are no absolutes. It can change.

      HSV1/2 blood test results

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Welcome @Marlena correct you and your partner would benefit from the type specific version of the HSV test (meaning a separate result for HSV-1 and HSV-2). I had no idea the Euroimmun or equivalent actually had a combined version, it is pretty useless given the high incidence of HSV-1. Only one thing to add is that if you are getting frequent symptoms then you can obtain a swab and have this tested for HSV and other things as well.

      HELP - IS THIS HERPES?

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Yeah @FirstTimeUser there is nothing in the pic suggestive of genital herpes. It seems both you and your partner have HSV-1 orally and that's actually pretty cool. It means you won't pass it to each other's genitals owing to immunity. If the two of you are concerned about genital HSV-2 then mutually test for the IgG HSV-2 and HSV-1 antibodies.

      HELP - IS THIS HERPES?

      By CHT · Posted

      Hi "firstimeuser".... let's see what "WilsoinAus" thinks but, for what's it worth, I don't see anything in your picture (or description) that looks like herpes..... it actually looks more like a scrape or follicle issue.... maybe even a bug bite.  Also, by the way, the odds of having HSV2 with an outbreak on your testicles is very low.... that is not a typical spot for an HSV2 outbreak.    Have your doctor take a look and if you want some peace of mind, get an IgG antibody test for HSV2 in about 12 weeks (takes that long for antibodies to develop).... but, again, I don't think you have anything to worry about here.... just not seeing anything herpes-related here.    take care....best of luck.

      HSV1/2 blood test results

      By CHT · Posted

      Hi Marlena..... since you stated you've had "herpes on the lips" then you likely have oral HSV1, which the majority of adults worldwide have... the fact your results for HSV1/2 are positive (at least I believe that's what your results show - I don't speak Polish but, I think I'm seeing your results are positive based on the attachment you included) may simply be reading the fact that you have HSV1.... the question is whether you've contracted HSV2 in your genital area. Your description of symptoms could possibly be related to HSV but, it's difficult to verify with certainty based on your description. You may also have contracted a different type of sexually transmitted infection (STI) or a simple fungal infection.   Your doctor does not believe what he/she is seeing is HSV but, unless your doctor has experience with HSV, they could easily misdiagnose your condition.  You need full STI testing. Do you have the option to travel to a larger city in Poland where you could get an appointment to be seen by a doctor with more experience with STIs?  You really need to have an experienced doctor take a look and run tests to check specifically for HSV2 as well as other STIs.  If they can rule out HSV2 or other STIs then hopefully they can then determine what is causing the redness, itching, and swollen condition.... again, it may not be HSV2 but, you need proper testing to verify.  Have you talked to your boyfriend about all this?  Has he had any symptoms on his genitals that are suspect?  Has he taken any tests to check for STIs?   I hope you can get more definitive testing so you know what you are dealing with and how best to treat it.  If you have any other questions/concerns, please come back and let us know.... I hope this helps a little.... best of luck.... take care.

      SUCCESS STORY: Herpes is an opportunity to built trust and connection through vulnerability.

      By CHT · Posted

      Hey Jeremy.... I know only too well that emotional pain you are feeling.... I really do.... and many of us on this site also know that pain.  It's not so much the physical side of having HSV that hurts, it's the stigma and risk of rejection that stings like hell!  You have to do what you think is right as it relates to when you disclose your HSV status when getting to know someone romantically.... I just think it's best to do it relatively early, and certainly before any sexual activity.   Have you looked into dating sites that cater to those with HSV?  I know others have had some luck with meeting partners on these sites.... you don't have to worry about the "disclosure" talk nor would you obviously have to worry about passing along a virus the other person already has.... take a few minutes and search around and see if it's an option you like. By the way, by taking your daily antiviral med and using a condom, your risk of passing along the virus is down around 1.9%.... pretty good odds that if you stick to your regimen you are very unlikely to transmit the virus....keep that in mind when you meet your next girlfriend and need to have "the talk."  That statistic might help calm any concerns about contracting the virus from you. I hope you don't give up.... as tough as it can be to find the right partner, it's still worth trying.... try to stay optimistic and look into some alternate options and see what happens.... all the best.... take care.
