My previous outbreaks has always under control, just one two blisters, or popped out around my thighs. But it’s never been so painful or itchy. Unlike this one.. this one is a real sh*t. I have blisters all around my labia, perianal, and my mons pubis. It’s so itchy, sore, and painful.  Every time I use the bathroom or shower I wish I could just kill myself. Been in valtrex 1500mg a day for the past 4days and no improvement to the pain+itch+blisters. This is the worst OB ever.. I can’t sleep, I can’t sit or walk comfortably without in pain.. 😭😭😭😭.

The worst thing about this is the discomfort when the lesions appear in inconvenient spots. My first two OB's.. Really uncomfortable, non-stop new lesions every few days, both lasting for about 3 weeks. Itchy at times, and very uncomfortable to wear pants when the lesions are constantly rubbing against them and breaking open during the healing process. Ugh.

Third ob started a week ago, only one spot with about 17 small blisters in a 15x10mm area, healed in 7 days. In the first few days, penis was extremely itchy and swollen around the area and I thought the OB will continue for weeks again, but nothing else appeared. I'm not taking AVs but I did apply some 99% DMSO + 3% H2O2 topically in the region on the 2nd day. Cannot confirm if that had anything to do with stopping the OBs, but I am pleased to see that the OB was much milder this time.

Take care, it'll be over soon.

Why you never been on AV during your initial outbreak? I wish i knew when i got my first, so I could take AV. Well..life is sucks sometimes.. and I have infant.. I guess I’m overtired. Past few weeks I only managed to get 4-5hours sleep everyday as I’m back to work.

@IamPositive How long have you had the virus for? Do you suspect there is something going on with your immune system or does the severity of the outbreak seem random?

I've had HSV2 for four years. Whenever I had a visible outbreak, including the primary one, I had one small lump in a specific area. In May, I had an outbreak and the lump was bigger and more painful , but in the same place. Two days ago I had another outbreak with three large and painful lumps in new places. It's a fresh kind of hell.

I feel this pain. I’ve had it for 3.5 years and was only getting 1 ob a year on antivirals. Now they seemed to have stopped. I’m getting obs every 2-3 weeks. It’s too much. I’ve had like 10 since June it feels like. I’m constantly depressed because even though I’ve accepted having it, to deal with it and be reminded every month is too much. Considering ditching the antivirals. What good are they doing me anyway.

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

      By CHT · Posted

      Hi "Jeremy"..... I agree, the topic of your HSV status does not need to be something you disclose too soon in a developing relationship..... get to know each other first....see how it's going and as it progresses, then the HSV issue will naturally need to be revealed.... it's my personal opinion though that before there is any sexual encounter you ought to disclose your HSV status.... I know some will disagree with me on this but, I think it is morally wrong not to disclose first.  This can be a make/break situation for most people but, again, I feel it is simply wrong not to give the other person the whole story since your decision not to disclose could put their health at risk.... that is simply not an option in my opinion.  Looking back to my "pre-HSV" life I most certainly would want my partner to disclose their HSV+ status before intimacy so that I could make my decision as to whether I want to take that risk or not....

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

      By Jeremy Spokein · Posted

      Thanks, CHT. I appreciate the feedback. The whole trauma of going through this has led me to figure out a lot about myself and my attachment wounds, so I'm taking courses to come out of this better. This girl really was my dream woman in so many ways, it's been the hardest heartbreak to deal with ever. I'm truly in a lot of pain, but using the pain as fuel to launch that new business and work with coaches. I also opened up to my family about HSV, so my parents and sister know now, and they were very loving and accepting of it. Since opening up about it, I feel way better around this thing. After opening up, I also found out that some mutual friends in our family have discordant couples who are married with children, so HSV hasn't stopped them from living a loving life. The thing is... all of these couples I mention did not disclose until 6-8 months into the relationship. So now I'm thinking it might be better not to disclose until I know things are very serious. I'll of course stay on the medication and use protection, but maybe this is a better route than disclosing upfront and scaring women off.

      Could this be hsv-2?

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @Lcj987 and welcome to the website. You can be sure that isn't HSV-2, looks nothing like it. It is much more likely to be folliculitis or inflamed fordyce spots.

      Unsure if Herpes, awaiting swabs, need help

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @JackThrowAway herpes causes an outbreak where it enters the body first and maybe a progressive spread. If it doesn't cause an outbreak at the entry site then it won't cause one elsewhere, it also won't 'jump' upon infection - it would be more likely that the lesions are continuous from the penis to the anus. Nevertheless, testing trumps symptoms or any interpretation of symptoms. The correct conclusive result arises when: you have a positive swab; or An IgG HSV-2 level over 3.5 (Herpeselect test).

      Slept with someone unprotected, roughly 2 weeks ago now. I felt generally unwell the couple of days after but I’d been drinking the whole weekend and didn’t have much sleep either of the days of that weekend so put it down to that. 6 days after I noticed these spots appear on the shaft of my penis. Along with symptoms of discomfort in my shaft in the couple of days prior to them appearing. No pain when urinating at all that I have noticed. They don’t hurt, itch or tingle and they don’t have fluid in from what I can see or feel if I squeeze them and have never burst? I went to a sexual health clinic to get checked up, they took bloods to do a full test and looked at the spots but said they saw nothing that concerned them but I’m not sure about that, any advice? The smaller spots under the shaft are just follicles I had diagnosed years ago and non-sti related.
