back to back outbreaks

[puzzle2779]

Can anybody explain what happens with back to back outbreaks please? Anybody experience these? I've read that you will at least get about a week in between where you have no symptoms at all and feel normal. But is it possible over a period of a week or longer to get a hot burning feeling and itching then some spots which crust. Say then all other symptoms go away but the scab is still there and a few days later you get a temp with a hot rash again with another spot. Is this another outbreak even if the first scab hasn't fallen off yet or is it a continued long outbreak? What pattern does an outbreak usually take?

Thanks. I don't want to go in to listing all my symptoms here as I'll keep that in my original post. However could you quickly note the typical order of an outbreak. Is it, tingling, itching, burning, red skin then blisters? I've also read that people are aware they are about to have an outbreak when they get a burning feeling and a low temperature so I guess some people do get this with future outbreaks. Interested to know when the end of an outbreak is so you know you're not infectious. Thanks.

except for the initial infection, this usually would not occur like this.  My recommendation to someone who does experience anything like this would be to be seen and get a proper exam to make sure that herpes is their only problem down yonder.

fevers are only common with the initial infection, not with recurrences.

I used to have 20 ob's a year, there were still clear periods of no symptoms in between recurrences.

Thanks. I'm aware of that. But I was asking what pattern an outbreak takes. What symptoms come first and last. What signifies the end of an outbreak? And what pattern do back to back outbreaks take?

Just because you have herpes doesn't mean everything is herpes.  Be seen by your doctor for a good work up.
