Headaches after outbreak?
Sorry for the second thread. I can't seem to find the other one.
As mentioned before I had an unusual cut on my buttock which didn't itch but did hurt to sit on after I noticed it and picked at the scab for 2 days. The scab took about a week to fully heal, crusted over but did not itch. I went in to have this examined and it was found to be atypical but said it seemed to show some indication based on some smaller scabs that were dispersed (possible burst vesicles). But no culture could be taken as the cut had scabbed already. They said to come back if it happens again.
The scab fully healed by this wednesday. Since I've had serious headaches for the last 3 days on the front of my head. I've had mild tingling in the corner of my mouth on one side but no sore or itching. i have also discovered a painful point in my inner thigh which I think was just an ingrown hair - it itched a little and hurt when I walked as it rubbed against my underwear. But nothing too bad. It opened into a sore which weeped minimally and healed really quickly - 1-2days.
Could these headaches be related to the initial scabbing on my buttock or just be a sheer coincidence? Is it typical to have headaches after an outbreak? (An outbreak which was only noticed after the lesion began to scab might i add...)
Thank you.

Absolutely and thank you for finding the thread - I was more than anything, curious to know whether post-outbreak headaches were common.
Thanks.
Thanks.

really, we'd totally be guessing. not everything is due to a herpes infection.
