lol... hahahaha thanks i just wanna be sure... i do appreciate your help
I still would not think it's herpes related at all.
really, not everything is herpes :)
no it was where the end of the nostrel meets the skin. if that makes sense. thank you for any help you can provide know that i truly appreciate it...
no reason to think that something on your bridge of your nose is herpes related at all.
okay one more question... i'm sorry i know i'm prolly buggin you half to death... but i had a miscarriage about a month ago, and i havent had my regular period yet, and normally i breal out really bad when im about to start. well i found this one bump on the crease of my nose... I popped it to see if it was a zit or hsv-2 oral... the bump went down alittle but no white head, though it was really small. i have no idea what to look for if that should happen could you give me the differences between break outs and hsv-2 oral... i'm still kinda new to this.
oh and sometimes trying a different position is helpful too - one that doesn't put downward pressure on that area for you.
lube during sex is helpful. also talk to your provider about topical estrogen to help heal and strengthen the delicate skin in that area. it's only available by prescription.
I have one more question and i dont know if you could help me with this or not. However, The preineal tear I had and that is how i knew it was herpes and to get it checked out. It heals and the skins is ok again, and if I have sex it tears again, and it hurts really bad. After a day or two its healed again. Is there any way I can make it stop tearing?
thank you for all your help...
just don't perform oral on active recurrences - otherwise not an issue since you both have hsv2. enjoy :)
thank you for help on this issue and i think i will get the book.. I think it might help me. But however i do have one question. how does oral sex work between us. is it safe or no... I mean i'm not shy at all to say that i like it alot. and so does he. so how do i not get hsv-2 orally? I know dental dams and such, but is there another way?
I can relate to what you're going through. I'm praying that my HSV2 positive result was a mistake...I'm going to ask my doctor for a retest. I too feel like I don't want anyone to touch me. I have an amazing boyfriend who is crazy about me and I'm crazy about him. He's HSV2 negative--we both did the full STD panel so we could be safe, and I have to find THIS out...
I don't think your family is right, and why are they being so judgmental and mean??
The eyes are a major concern, especially when your baby comes into question. Make sure, that if you are going to have a breakout during the birth, or you think that you, that a cesarean birth is necessary to prevent the baby from getting this disease in its eyes. That's one of my concerns as well. My first thought, actually, when I found out that I had hsv 2 was that I couldn't have children. But, when I found out that I just have to take certain precautions, then it was kind of ok.
Actually, you would be surprised who be more than willing to have intercourse with you and have children with you. I have been very blessed to find a man who not only will do that, but wants children with me. Just have the courage to be very open with a potential partner.
Just make sure you wash your hands thoroughly after you tough the affected area, and you will be fine. And, its ok.. many women and men have this disease, and they live very normal lives. We are all very lucky to have the medication to suppress it.
Be careful, and good luck to you.
yes he did... he had it for eight yeras or so and never knew it. How common is HSV-2 on the face anyway... i'm looking on the internet and it says its rare, but if it's so rare then why are there so many new cases of ocular herpes. that's my main worry. I'm mostly scared of that. My family is acting as though this is a death sentence that I will never marry or have children b/c no one will want me. I was just starting to be ok with my new "skin condition" but after today I feel like I am back at square 1. I'm forever looking at my eyes to make sure they are ok. You know I can handle this down below I think... But if it was on my face I don't think I could handle it as well. I keep telling myself that scientists are close to a cure and that I WILL see one in my lifetime. That i won't have to live with this much longer. I mean heck they came out with a vaccine for chicken pox which is related to the herpes family from what I read. I also keep tellin myself that this is just a VERY irritating skin condition and thats all. But it's hard to keep that in my mind when my family says no. That and I should hate the person that has done this to me, but I don't... But to close this very long post and i do apologize my main concern are my eyes.
you won't spread your hsv2 all over your body dear. all you need to remember to do is to wash your hands after you use the bathroom or touch yourself intimately - something we already do already :)
did your partner get tested to know that they have hsv2 too?
keep asking questions :)
i had the culture test done, and it came back postive for herpes type 2. and i don't know why it would be bad I just feel like I should be angry, but i'm not. I'm angry at myself. And I was reading alot of things on the internet and it talks about ocular herpes. That I could give myself the infection. By autoinclination. I just seriously don't want this to happen to me. I don't think I could bare it.
what testing did you have done so far?
why would it be wrong to love the person who gave you herpes?
no, you won't go blind from genital herpes dear!!
grace
Please do some reading darling it really isn't that bad, 1 in 5 people have HSV2.

your partner has hsv2 and so do you, it's really a non-issue in this relationship other than comfort reasons when either of you has an obvious lesion present.
I highly recommend purchasing Terri Warren's book "the good news about the bad news". She is medhelp's herpes expert and the book is fantastic! It really goes into details about what it is like living with herpes and has a whole section on pregnancy and genital herpes too.
your family sounds un-educated about genital herpes :( It's something 1 out of every 4-5 people you know has. How many folks do you know have herpes eye infections dear? how many folks do you know have had doomed lives because they contracted herpes? Far more folks than you suspect you know have oral and/or genital herpes and they are living completely normal and healthy lives :)
