1641422 tn?1300798618 I was diagnosed as acutely positive for Herpes Zostra NOS (shingles). The swelling seems to be much worse internally in the evening, making it difficult to sit without a great deal of pain. The doctor prescribed Prednisone, Valtrex, and Lidocaine they all help but none are stopping the evening pain making it very hard to sleep.
Avatar f tn I was diagnosed with genital hsv2 about 3 months ago through PP. The initial outbreak was almost over when I was tested so I don't know if the acyclovir aided in clearing it up or not. I was told to take it 3x a day whenever I first notice symptoms and continue for 7-10 days, longer if it isn't cleared up yet. I've had at least 2 more outbreaks in the same spot since then and been taking the acyclovir for about a month straight right now.
Avatar f tn For my UTI doctor prescribe me amoxicillin and for my sore lidocaine viscous. On saturday night i noticed that i have a sore around vagina area. The sore is circle shaped red and looks it is fill with puss. Today i woke up i found 5 new sores. Are they herpes. Im freaking out . Other thing i havent eaten since friday my mouth and teeth hurt so bad + my lymph nodes are extremely swollen.
Avatar m tn I wore a condom and fooled around but did not have intercourse, maybe just some genital contact with the condom on. About 4 or 5 days later after running 10 miles on a hot day, I started noticing a small bump, looks like a hard pimple toward the base of my penis. A few days later I started putting some banzallkuonium and lidocaine on it as well as some hydrocordizone, as I was trying to get rid of the pimple.
Avatar f tn As soon as I put either lidocaine or coconut oil they get less red and go away. They have never broken out into a blister. I was tested 3 months ago for Herpes and came back positive for only Herpes 1. Any idea what might be going on? Does it sound like it could be Genital Herpes 1 (pretty sure I contracted it when I was little, but have never experienced a cold sore on my mouth)? Should I get retested for HSV 2? Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks.
Avatar f tn Has anyone ever been prescribed this for genital outbreaks or PHN? My doctor did for PHN. I just tried it for the first time it hurt to apply and doesn't feel the most pleasant now. Has anyone ever used this and what was your experience?
Avatar n tn Approx. 12 yrs ago I was diagnosed with genital herpes, I have always been faithful to my husband and don't understand how this happened. My husband and I have had several discussions about this. We are wondering if He could have given HSV-2 to me. Twice between the time we met 19 yrs ago and the time I was diagnosed he had severe blister lesions in his throat and was wondering if perhaps he may have HSV-2 in his throat. He has had this outbreak 3 times in 25 yrs.
Avatar n tn I recommend going to be seen and getting tested for vaginitis. Yeast and bacterial infections vaginally can cause rashes like you've described as well as trigger your herpes to reoccur too. This isn't acting like a typical herpes ob and it doesn't sound like just herpes so you need to follow up on it.
Avatar f tn I was having some irritation and blisters forming on my genital area and decided to go into the doctor yesterday, about 5 seconds into the appointment I found out that I now have genital herpes for the rest of my life. I just have a few questions because this is so new to me and I never really thought this would happen. My partner who I received this from has no health insurance and was unaware that he also had this.
Avatar f tn The surgeon prescribed me Augmentin 625mg twice a day for 5 days. And lidocaine+fucidin cream (fusidic acid) to apply on the rectum and the ulcer. I have been doing that but the ulcer doesn't seem to heal. Also, Augmentin has given me diarrhea in the past so I was not very satisfied with his prescription. About 5-6 days after the ulcer developed, I got a few itchy bumps on my tailbone area/just at the top end of the crack. They are flesh colored and very itchy.
Avatar f tn The doc I seen stated it was a herpes outbreak at the tail end of it and stabbed it but prescribed me lidocaine cream for when I sit down it wont hurt. I was always told that it will come back to the same area. But according the doc she is saying it can move from back to front because its the same group of nerves. I am just ready for this to be gone.
Avatar n tn Good news! I went to the doctor today and it's not herpes. It's folliculitis! They gave my lidocaine for the pain and Bactrim for an anti biotic. I'm so relieved! Thanks your reply auntiejessi!

Avatar f tn d have to perform oral sex on you to get it orally from your genital herpes ( sorry for that visual - just pointing out that that's what it would take to transmit your genital herpes to her mouth! ). Either you or your hubby could have hsv1 orally even if neither of you have ever experienced obvious cold sores that you are aware of. She also could've gotten it from any caretaker or playmate too. It also could be another virus like coxsackie or herpangina too.
Avatar f tn Thank you for easing my mind. I did get some lidocaine from my doctor. She believes my paranoia of checking myself 10 + times a day irritated the sensitive skin down there. Giving me the lidocaine helped immensely.
Avatar f tn I got tested for syphilis, gonorrhea, etc but I was most worried about it being herpes! I got tested for herpes and my results will be back in 4 days, but I am wondering if it could be something else? When I got tested for herpes the doctor said that it looked somewhat like herpes but something was a little off. They did a swab test and started me on acyclovir which they said would reduce the pain/heal herpes blisters really quickly.
55646 tn?1263660809 Nationally, there are at least three different studies beginning for the treatment of genital herpes. First, the Genocea phase one (first in humans) trial. Instead of an oral medication to treat herpes, Genocea out of Boston has taken the approach of stimulating the immune system to respond more robustly to the herpes virus in people who are already infected with the virus.
Avatar f tn I apply Abreva or Zoverax on my fingers, vagina and mouth. I have lidocaine gel for vagina, a lidocaine rinse for my mouth, Loratab for pain (have had TONS of pain but only took once), an antihistimine for the itching (haven't tried that). I am seeing improvement. My gums are less swollen. I was able to eat today. Still have a long way to go. I've read a lot about a home remedy of: crushing tylenol PM, adding water, Abreva. Its a paste that relieves pain and swelling.
Avatar n tn Thanks for the heads up on that issue. I'm a science guy and often read research studies on a variety of medical issues. Would you be willing to fwd me the links of the research studies around this issue? Thanks a million.
Avatar f tn I hope your doctor took a swab specimen from your genital lesions for HSV testing by culture or PCR. That test is recommended for every person with genital ulceration, regardless of whether the provider suspects herpes. If so, that result may answer the question. If not, or if such a test is negative, you should go on to have a blood test. If you have a negative IgG antibody test for HSV that becomes positive in a few weeks, that also would nail down a herpes diagnosis.
Avatar f tn My name is Kaylee. Last week I started having frequent urination, faul odor when I peed, and pain while urinating. I get bladder infections all the time accompanied by yeast infections on the course of my antibiotics. I had some leftover amoxicillin and I took the last 4 of them at the beginning of the week. I knew I should've just gone to see my doctor but I didn't have time because of work and needed a quick fix. Towards taking that last pill I started experiencing mild itching.
Avatar n tn t for the life of me recall of they took blood for a herpes test. Since I have been in what I thought was a carefully prepared for relationship (we're both faithful and got tested for everything) but im not sure if I've had blood drawn and I know my boyfriend hasn't. Anyway how possible is it that one if not both of us has hsv2 and we both have no symptoms? I already plan to call both the clinic and OB to see if I was in fact tested but I'm just curious to see the odds...
Avatar m tn com but the guy told me it will onley show if u have genital herpes or oral herpes, but if it does come up as positive for genital herpes i would like to know weather its ghsv1 or ghsv2 can any one pleas help
Avatar f tn Oral herpes is easy to spread to another person and this is why such a huge percentage of the population have hsv 1. This includes little kids. It's common and really no big deal. Spreading oral herpes to the genitals is harder. And what you describe doesn't equate to a way that would happen so I would not worry about touching the genitals of someone with hsv 1 with your hands or she touching you with her hands would pose any risk of genital oral herpes.
Avatar n tn Because I was out of state on vacation, I visited the local ER for treatment (Valtrex and Lidocaine ointment.) I have a follow up scheduled next week with my own doctor. I don't think the ER tested for type but I hope my GYN will order blood testing. Because of the severity of my symptoms, the ER physician told me that this was my first response and that I had most likely been infected within 2 days to 2 weeks. I need to understand how the timeline for herpes works...
Avatar f tn As your partner is learning, initial herpes can be extensive and painful. New lesions normally continue to appear for 2 days after starting valacyclvir treatment, and it can take another 2-3 days for significantly reduced pain. The valacyclovir hasn't made it worse and there is no spread "from sore to sore". Covering the lesions or improved hygiene won't help this, but of course she should keep the area clear with light washing a couple times a day.
Avatar f tn Looking for someone who can help me with facts...Recently the person I was with had an outbreak of herpes, and was diagnosed by a Dr with genital herpes. Since then he has blamed me as the cause, for his genital herpes. However, I've never had any sypmtoms. Fearing I was cause I went to the Dr and had a Herpes Blood test since I don't have any symptoms that is the only test they are able to perform. I just received the results and they were negative.
