Getting worse over time

Recommended Posts

Backstory: I’ve had herpes down there for almost 3 years now. I haven’t been tested to see type 1 or 2. Dr put me on valtrex, and it cleared my first infection up. Had two more over that first year, but went away within a few days. Last year in May I got the worst one ever (look wise) and valtrex didn’t clear it up. So my doc switched my to acyclovir. No problemS after that, but fast forward to this past May, I then got another outbreak which looked worse and itches and hurt worse than my initial one. Took a huge amount of acyclovir and it went away (after 3 back to back obs over a month and a half). So all was fine but today I noticed itching and checked things out and there’s blisters. I don’t get it, almost 3 years in and it’s becoming more frequent and looking worse than the first few. And it’s white spots, some on the inside of my labia and a few on the outside. Anyone else experienced this problem? Honestly it didn’t bother me having herpes but after the past few months I’m seriously so depressed. I just want them to stop or at least go back to just once a year..no diet changes, new stressors, or sun exposure to explain them.

You have to lower your stress.Stress is a big key.Me im trying to sleep more and lower my stress.Im trying to not worry about having herpes.I have it,and there is nothing i can do,So why stress myself about it?Im taking medicine to help suppress it.For me stress and sleep are my biggest factors.

      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.

      Is this herpes? I can’t find any pics that match this exactly and my symptoms don’t really match. I don’t have really any of the typical herpes symptoms other than pictured, so I figured it could be friction as I have recently been having a lot of sex with a new partner. Way more than normal. Started having unprotected sex about 3 - 4 weeks ago. These symptoms only started about 3-4 days ago. Felt burning in some areas and only some very few tiny red areas/spots appeared. Almost shiny in appearance. Seems to settle very quickly. They were only present for a day or so. Also had some very mild irritation after I pee but not during. This spot has 2 small red lumps that are now dry around the outside. It’s like it’s been rubbed off and the skin is dry and shiny underneath. It doesn’t seem to be lesion. There was no puss or any leakage, nor was the skin ever red under them. They also got better within a day or so. I still have red spots around but they are very small and not bunched together and some general discomfort but I feel it’s because I’ve touched it so much! Stressing a bit!  my research tells me friction burn/blister , Fungal ,herpes a bit of it all! I have no idea! Please help! Thanks in advance.

      I’m going to force him to get tested ! Thanks for your help !

      @EssenceL25 there really isn't a question mark around the source, it's your latest partner. The median time from infection to an outbreak of lesions upon initial infection is 4 days.  The only thing that isn't certain is the type I suggest.
