So I was diagnosed with HSV1, which I assumed was oral because I had a yeast and BV but no signs of sores and mouth was very itchy, tingly, etc. 

but there is a possiblity I have candida overgrowth in my body my immune system has been compromised for a few years now.. hair loss, low energy, etc.

but then these appear... 

theyre painful but not unbearable more annoying... one looks like a puss filled bump and the other is red and white irritation no bump

I’m no expert here AT ALL, but I remember asking my doctor a similar question. I don’t know about the irritation but I remember having a puss filled bump (it was slightly painful) and wrote my doctor. She said that the herpes lesion can present itself in different ways so it’s not always easy to tell,  but they are not typically a raised bump like I described (which was as a large pimple). She said most often they are very small and look like a blister that then breaks open, and the other more common presentation is like a very small slit or cut in the skin. 

I honestly think I just had a pimple..popped it a couple days later.

Hope that helps a little!

I have had papercut like lesions on my face before so I expect to see the same if I had GHSV1?

I’m not sure. In the realm of HSV1 I haven’t had any experience on my face, only south of the border. But from my experience with Genital HSV1 they always look like like paper cuts or just little slits in the skin.

Do you get multiple slits/cuts? Did you ever get igg blood tested and it turn positive for hsv1? Or were you swabbed. Or both. Curious. How frequent are your outbreaks? Thanks

I have only ever had one at a time, usually in the same spot or very close by. I never got blood tested. With my very first OB they swabbed it and three days later reported it tested positive for HSV 1. I had that first outbreak for a couple weeks, then nothing for 4 months and now I’ve been struggling with frequent ones for almost two months. 1 little cut lasts for a few days, clears up, then another comes back almost a week later. Pretty frustrating, trying to find a supplement regimen that will work for me.

How were you able to find them? 

My photo was the first time I was able to catch a picture.

The first time I ever felt something was during sex so I honestly thought I tore something. The next morning I got out a handheld mirror and went looking, and decided it must have just be a tear. It was super sensitive to the touch so whenever it got touched with toilet paper I could feel it. The next day I looked at it again and thought it looked more like a how a cold sore does than a tear, so out of panic I immediately went to the doctor. Usually I can feel a bit of pain or abnormality like tingling, but I also often feel around down there every morning in the shower just as a quick pain check.

      HSV1/2 blood test results

      By Marlena · Posted

      Good morning. My name is Marlena and I come from Poland. Sorry, my English is average. For two years I have been in a relationship with a man, for a year and a half I have been struggling with intimate problems. On average, my intimate condition is getting worse every month. Then I feel itching, redness, swelling around the entrance to the vagina, small blisters (not always). Most often it is only red and swollen, itches and then disappears. This state lasts 3-4 days. I come from a small town, doctors don't know what it is. They say it's 'skin irritation'. They prescribe moisturizing creams with lactic acid, probiotics. It doesn't help. I did a blood test for HSV on my own, which is very expensive in Poland, but it does not separate HSV1 from HSV2. The doctor, when he shows these results, says that it's not herpes, but irritation. I would like to add that in the past I suffered from herpes on the lips, then it was a 'scab'. There has never been a scab in an intimate area. Sometimes there are blisters that last 1-2 days, but not always. So what do high blood test results mean? I would like to add that in Poland people do not talk about the HSV virus. It's just that sometimes someone has it on their lips and that's it. Results translation: IgM HSV 1/2: questionable IgG HSV 1/2: result above the measuring range https://files.fm/f/4cpu7uee4

      HELP - IS THIS HERPES?

      By FirstTimeUser · Posted

      This is my first time posting here. Im generally pretty anxious when it comes to anything to do with health conditions etc. For context I have had jock itch and fungal infections previously on my buttcrack. I have had 0 new sexual partners and I am not concerned about my girlfriend cheating at all. 4 days ago my balls began itching and red pretty much all over, as you can see some general flakeyness and what looks to be a lesion I noticed on Monday when I checked them out. My partner and I do get cold sores from time to time so the anxious part of me is concerned this could be herpes, but at the same time could be some sort of fungal infection. My doctor cant see me until tomorrow so I just have to worry until then. There is no pain and nothing on the penis or anywhere else, just general itchiness. Any ideas if this is herpes or not?

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

      By Jeremy Spokein · Posted

      Yes, but every married person who I found out about that has this waited 6-8 months into the relationship to disclose it. But maybe you're right. If I had told her 6-7 months in, she'd still have Googled it and flipped out, and maybe it would have been harder then. I don't know. I don't see myself going through this level of pain and rejection so easily next time. I really don't. I'm taking the meds. I use protection. It's been almost a decade since I've had it so I'm not worried about shedding or passing it on so easily. British studies confirm that the first 2 years are the most contagious and we're passed that. I'm just over this. I've never been in so much emotional pain in my life.
