Blood Blister
by peanut24, Oct 18, 2009 04:14PM
Last Friday my Boyfriend and I were intimate and the next following night there were to white bumps on my upper thigh. I applied alcohol to the bumps and one disappeared. Yet, the other other bump got bigger over the next seven days and is very painful. At first I thought it was a boil but after applying some Boil Easy to the area the center got clear and began to look more like a blister filled with blood. Lots of blood (Only Blood No Puss) oozed out of it this morning and it hasn't fully busted as of yet. I've done some reading and it sounds like a sign of Herpes Simplex which makes me very afraid. I've have a boil in my thigh before in a different area some months back. I have a doctors appointment in five days and I'am worried. Can you express to me what your opinion would be about this situation? I would greatly appreciate any advice you have to offer. Thank You.

From the symptoms it sounds like a blood blister or infected hair follicles. But it is important to rule out herpes sores. Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2). Most individuals have no or only minimal signs or symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When signs do occur, they typically appear as one or more blisters on or around the genitals or rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender ulcers (sores) that may take two to four weeks to heal the first time they occur. Typically, another outbreak can appear weeks or months after the first, but it almost always is less severe and shorter than the first outbreak.
The only way of ruling it out is by getting yourself tested for genital herpes. Laboratory tests include: culture of the virus, direct fluorescent antibody (DFA) studies to detect virus, skin biopsy, and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to test for presence of viral DNA. I sincerely advise you to consult a dermatologist and get it ruled out.
I sincerely hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted in case you’ve any additional doubts.
