and seemingly had an outbreak in the form of bumps. Has anyone else had this occur? Does anyone know if onset can take a matter of minutes, from symptom free to outbreak? Anything else this could be?
interactions. These two instances were four months apart, with no other sexual interactions in between. I am obviously concerned that every time I try to have sex I will break out with HSV during the actual act.
Also, I keep my pubic hairs almost shaved so I can inspect for outbreaks. Does anyone think not having pubic hair result in too much friction?
I do keep my pubic area shaved since I have started my current job and since then I have noticed I get irritated when having sex and do break out with red bumps and itching afterwards and I believe its just from friction with lubrication on shaved skin because its more like razor burn then an outbreak and I do recall when I had my first outbreak it was 6 days from the first signs/symptoms to when lesions showed up. I hope my experience could be of some help for you.
this sounds nothing at all like your herpes reoccurring.
perhaps instead of shaving , you should just use a body hair trimmer and keep the hair short instead of gone so that you have that extra layer to protect your sensitive genital skin? pubic hair really does have a function :)
