blisters

hi,

i know everyone gets different symptoms, but is it correct that most people that get blisters from herpes are sensitive on them?  Do they hurt?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by "sensitive on them"... But yes, typically - but not always - herpes lesions are painful. My personal experience is yes, they hurt.

yes, i meant painful.  Because I am very worried about some very small blisters that have formed, the size of a pinhead, but they are not sensitive to the touch.

thanks for the reply.

Do herpes blisters/bumps have blood come out of them if popped?

[carlhunnycut]

I read that blisters form herpes usually break within hours or days.  Can anyone tell me if they are known to reduce in size and then get bigger again.  Its 5 days after noticing this tiny blisters and yesterday they seemed much smaller but today (after a really long sweaty workout) they are as big and there are a few more.  Is 5 days a common amount of time before breaking, or does it seem long?

If the bumps are on your thigh, it is harder to transmit to a partner if it is not on your penis. That is concidering that the bumps are caused by herpes in the first place.

i didnt say they were on the thigh

sorry, my bumps were and if jumped in, My bad!

carl....you saw a provider who didn't think your symptoms were related to herpes. If you don't trust their opinion, go see someone else for a 2nd opinion.
