What type of oils & vitamins do U take?
i remember my first outbreak i jist have genital herpes it was excrusiating especially to walk and pee. once the meds kick n.the genital will.start to.clear and it feel better. the first outbreak is the worst after that. its tolerable. Ita good to educate urself i started using natural oils and vitamin supplements to keep outbreaks down now i barely have one or 2 outbreaks a year
Man I have similar signs now. I tried putting an ointment , carmex and I concluded with tucks which seem to me to bring out multiple bumps that seem to be hidden in my labia minora and outer area as well. I went to doctor and she indeed recommended a hot bath so that all fluids run out and said no ointments, also Valtrex 2 a day for now and antibiotics 4 times a day for infection if present. Took blood test and results will be back in a couple of days. This was a very painful experience and has been present fot 3 weeks without relief.
I had tested before with a culture and it was negative.
have you ever had a cold sore before?
at this point try something like soaking in the tubby with epsom salts thrown in for comfort once or twice a day. also I'm not sure what otc topical anesthetics you can buy in the UK. might want to look in the hemorrhoid section of the drug store. make sure there aren't any steroids in the cream/spray you find to use.
you need to return to be seen again. I don't think this is puss on your clitoris but probably yeast going on. Make sure that they properly test you for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally as well as enough time has passed they can also test for gonorrhea and chlamydia too to cover that base. having vaginitis on top of a newly acquired genital herpes infection just makes things worse :(
did they do a lesion culture for herpes when you wer e initially seen to see if indeed this is herpes and if it's hsv1 or hsv2?
much easier to take acyclovir 400mg 3x/day than the 5x/day dose. they both work the same ( the 800mg 5x/day dose is a shingles dose ).
hang in there - it does get better!!
