Welcome back to our Forum. There has been much said about the effects of lysine, arginine, or both on herpes however none of this is proven. There have been sceintific randomized clinical trial studies evaluating the effect of lysine which showed no significant difference in effect whne compared with placebo.
More important however and not addressed in your question is your continued fixation on the possiblity that you have herpes. Please let me remind you that: 1. You have negative tests for herpes and 2. The "pimple" you mention is not at allsuggestive of HSV. Herpes lesions do not persist for a year.
I suggest you have the recurring lesion you mention evaluated by a dermatologist who is familiar with mucosal/genital dermatology and urge you to not worry about HSV. I hope you find these comments helpful. EWH
Thank you doctor for your prompt reply. I will see a dermatologist also but since these symptoms are not related to herpes any idea what could be causing my symptoms and why they increase in response to these foods?
I'm sorry, I do not have an answer to that. If the symptoms are related to the bump, then you need to know what the bump is. On the other hand, if they are not, then you need to be evaluated thoroughly by your physician. EWH
