Any ladies had Herpes?

Question

I could use some advice.

I may have herpes, I'm heading to the clinic tomorrow due to spots around my labia.

They are causing me a lot of pain, I can't walk or sit down without it hurting, and sometimes they prevent me from sleeping or wake me up in the night.

I also have a tear on the crease of my labia which really doesn't help!

I have tried using Sudocrem, Vagisil and Savlon before I realised what it may be.

I was wondering if anyone had any advice for dealing with the pain of a Herpes outbreak if that's what this is.

Thankyou!

Answer

Yes. I have type 1. You'll have to get meds but it'll hurt for a few more days til the blisters heal. I've only had one "down south" breakout and it was the worst one.

Answer

I do, I get outbreaks under lots of stress but I'm clear most of the time. You can get medicine that surpresses the virus, as long as you take it you'll be ok. Vasaline over the cuts helped me pee without pain somewhat but sure you keep extra clean so it heals properly and whatever you do you must not itch the sores!

Answer

It sounds like herpes but don't freak out, most likely it's just type one which is VERY common. Usually your first outbreak is the worst and the next won't be as bad, if you even have another outbreak. I wouldn't get on an antiviral or anything like that just yet, wait and see if you have anymore. For now get numbing spray..I think dermaplast is the name ..and get the squirt bottle like they give you for after you've given birth to help with the burning when you pee
