Hi, a rash is not consistant with herpes lesions. The are more clusters of blisters.
Also are you caucasian? If so depress and area of the rash, does it go white? If yes then it is not likely to a herpetic outbreak.
thanks for your help. I do not have any blisters that I can see. Just red bumps that kind of come and go. I did press on the rash and it some spots go white and some bumps stay red. I am new to this virus and not sure how to tell what is and what isn't a break out.
There is no itching and no pain, just the visible rash. I wish there was a definite way to tell whether or not its a breakout. I guess I will just keep taking the meds the way I have been and treat it like it is an ob. Thanks again for all your help.
Hi Mazzie. Herpes can present in a number of ways. One of mine - near the tailbone - does look a bit like a rash. However, it's usually accompanied by itching and slight pain.
The other thing is that a lot of things look like H. Your rash might not be that at all. I do think it's wise to exercise caution as you're doing and treat it the way you would any recurrence.
Hi. That's what I am doing. Thanks for your help. My first ob was a lot different and not anywhere close to where the "rash" is. I guess its nice that it doesn't itch or isn't painful.
I have another question? The "rash" is still there. But now its just a few pimple like things on each side. They are not clusters... Could this still be an ob? Nothing is blistering or popping or scabbing over.... I am so confused. There is also still no pain or itching.
I want to thank you for your help. I have another question? The "rash" is still there. But now its just a few pimple like things on each side. They are not clusters... Could this still be an ob? Nothing is blistering or popping or scabbing over.... I am so confused. There is also still no pain or itching. The bumps kind of come and go....I went for a bike ride tonight and now it seems to be more inflamed. I guess my biggest concern is why it is still there. It has been there since about August 28th. Not going away. Any ideas.... should I still treat it like its an ob? Or should I go to the dr?
Thank you for all your help.
