Herpes Virus

by UnisausS1, Jul 14, 2009 04:16AM
Chicken Pox, Shingles, & Herpetic Whitlow <-- Are these all of the same herpes virus? I had chicken pox when I was 3. I get the shingles outbreak on my left cheek buttox - hospital diagnosed - about a year ago, and it hurt to sit , even on the toilet. I get that outbreak like every four to five months -- ongoing. Now, I was just diagnosed with herpetic whitlow on my right hand ( on the outter side of hand, but under pinky ). I get that outbreak every 2 ta 3 weeks and it's ongoin too. Boy does it hurt. Perscriptions from the doctors don't work. If these 3 virus' are the same, can ya please tell me the differences between them?      Please excuse the french, BUT -- What the hell is going on with me? If you could help me find the answers, I'd apprieiate it dearly.

Please reply:   ***@****  .  Thank You

shingles doesn't reoccur like this.

You need to go back and be better evaluated and have more testing done.
