Correction: original post said hpv 2 needed to say hsv 2
Hi I since my initial herpes type 2 outbreak i have been on suppressive therapy that I take very regularly. I have not had another outbreak that I know of. ie: nothing that resulted in an open sore.
Can a herpes outbreak not result in an open sore or look like something other than a reddish bump?
How does a person recognize shedding?
Is there a website out there that helps people with herpes identify very mild shedding symptoms? All I can find is pics of severe outbreaks that appear worse than my initial. I would like to see what a herpes outbreak or shedding looks like on a person who is on suppressive therapy and having an outbreak that is almost unnoticeable.
