Hello there. I'm a 24F, who has had HSV 1 for 3 and a half years now. I got my first cold sore December of 2016 out of no where when I was 21. I was in school and working at a job that had me very stressed at all time. I came home one day and saw the bumps. Initially, I'd never thought anything of it as my dad always had them when I was growing up. Of course, you go on Google and after about 20 minutes of searching, you are absolutely devastated and disgusted with yourself.
The first year after my 1st outbreak, I'd occasionally experience some shedding, but didn't get another breakout until the following year. Since that outbreak, I've pretty much steadily had cold sores every month for the last 2 and a half years. I was told birth control would help, because I was noticing outbreaks begin about a week before my cycle. Didn't change anything though.
Earlier this year, I finally decided it was time to start suppressive therapy, given the fact that I had no success with natural remedies or hormone leveling using the birth control. I've seen no changes in the frequency of my cold sores since starting 1GM of Valcyclovior. It's been about 3 months, and I met with my doctor today to discuss the issue. She basically told me there was nothing she could do and to see a dermatologist. She also gave me the list of vitamins I already to take to try to include with my daily antiviral. I feel completely defeated. I don't know what to do now or if there is any hope. It hurts me so much because I'm so young and nothing has gotten better. Also, I don't think a dermatologist is the answer. Has anyone else experienced this?

I eat out a girl and then i had swollen tonsles with white sores on them i asked her if she had stds and she said no she gets checked. I got oral sex from a girl at a party that had a sore on her lip I wasent sure becuase i was drunk. I then started to notice small bumps on my dick glands and redness, Last time i had sex with the first girl was in july and the oral sex one was the start of this year new years. I went to my clinic to get std screen and turns out they dont do herpes test as part of it unless you have sores, i came out clean for all what they tested. So i went online a used the lets get checked test for herpies 1 2 antibody and i came out positve for herpies 1. I guess i want to know what i should do now i tried to find info on medication but all i can find is they need to do swabs on open sores but i havent had any herpes sores at least from what iv seen online i dont have sores like that so what do i do. How do i upload pictures here 0.1mb is too small

Does anyone have any advice about applying makeup and removing makeup if you have oral herpes? I'm finding it very difficult to not be wasteful with things like face powder, makeup brushes, tooth brushes and toothpastes, acne medications and moisturizers, and other items like that. I have a terrible fear of possibly spreading something all over my face, so any advice is appreciated. Thank you

Hey everyone
I had dry lips which then turned to a black spot you could say pic attached. It was there for a few days painless but was quite hard.
I put some oregano herbs on it as it was getting darker and peeling hard skin and it started to react and get watery I guess you could say.
It now looks like this 2 days after applying the herb! The pharmacy said it’s not a cold sore and just reacted to what I put on it On top of a blocked gland or something
any ideas?? Please

Hi the above pics are of my tongue and bottom lip. I'm concerned that I may have some sort of allergy or virus happening. The tongue feels quite irritated at times and you can see the red dots visible on the front of it. Also my lip (bottom) is always dry and cracks if I open my mouth quickly without thinking about it. It has been like this for some time now and seems to be getting worse. Is this a sign of something bad or could my constant stress and terrible diet be causing this. I will be seeing my doctor really soon so I just want some pointers if possible.
I have been tested for sti and all was ok, I have no outbreaks of any sort, just tender lips and sore tongue.
The white patch on my tongue is the flash.

Hey, @WilsoInAus thank you for replying. Just those symptoms and this thread and some other thread on medhelp, I am so regretted and afraid. Thank you for your kind reply. When such sores come out again, I will definitely have a swab test. It was so hard to get back to normal life. -

Hey @AlexUobby you have a 16 week test result that is conclusively negative. You have not had lesions at the possible site of entry to your body for the virus. That does add up to a closed case, no genital herpes (or soup) for you! -

Hey, it has been a while. I have posted before and received great help. But I got a new situation here. 1. A few days ago, I found 2 round scabs on the right side of my butt cheek. And then it occurs to me that I have the similar scabs in this area in January. I can't get a swab test because it has developed scabs. But to be honest, it really looks like some pictures of herpes. I was very confused. And I noticed some marks of dried blood nearby. Can we say it was not herpes because lesions caused by herpes don't bleed? I have the obsession, always want to use my hand to scratch my butt. Last time it showed up, I thought it might be the cause. 2. Several days ago, I found some cut-like lesions on my right groin, too. The same lesions have showed up on the 21 day of my exposure, but it healed on the 24 day. And I have seen the same lesions showed up on March 24. They were always on my right groin. Never see one on there left. I sent the pictures to 2 doctor online(because of the pandemic), they both thought it wasn't herpes. The hospitals in my city don't offer swab test, so I must go to the city nearby. When such lesions show up next time, I will have a swab test. 1) Can we say the first lesions were not herpes because it bleed? 2) Can we say the second lesions were not herpes because the initial outbreak was so short? 3) I know recurrent herpes can show up in the box short area. But is it possible it changes its place in just 5 months? 3 week Capita HSV I and II Igg negative 6 week Capita HSV I and II Igg negative Roche Elecsys HSV I and II Igg negative HSV II Igg = 0.06(0.5~1.0 grey zone) 12 week a test produced by a company call Dia.pro HSV I Igg negative HSV II Igg positive I did the same test 3 times, the value is 1.2, 1.4, 1.9 16 week Capita HSV I and II Igg negative Roche Elecsys HSV I and II Igg negative HSV II Igg = 0.073(0.5~1.0 grey zone)
