Avatar m tn Welcome to the STD forum. On one hand, any genital area ulceration has to be evaluated for herpes. On the other, I doubt that's what you have, for at least a few reasons. First, the location of lesion is wrong. HSV infections usually don't take unless the virus is massaged into the exposed tissues -- for which reason initial herpes lesions usually occur at the sites of maximum friction during sex.
Avatar f tn They then became an ulcer but after the ulcer I went to the doctor and she first thought it was Syphilis all the test came back negative but then I got a couple of small blisters she said look like herpes blisters.. is it anyway that this maybe just be an infected lesion. Back in August I had a lesion in the same spot and tested negative. They gave me a shot and mupirocin to put on sore along with pills to take and it Went away just fine..
Avatar m tn Last year I had an outbreak on my lips and my doctor said it was impetigo. They put me on an oral antibiotic but then the symptoms did not subside after a few days leading them to think it was HSV1 and they prescribed Valtrex. After a few days and some rest it went away and scabbed over. Note: The bumps on my lips went across the entire lip, oozed a yellowish- clear liquid, and then scabbed and healed.
Avatar n tn (Small red bumps) So i went to doctor he prescribed mupirocin ointment and novoclax antibiotic tablet for 5 days. I have applied for last three days. Some what results shown. But my question is how long days to get rid off entirely from beard. I also wash with warm water for one to two times daily. This is enough or elsedo? Please suggest..
Avatar m tn I showed it to my family doctor and she gave me Foskina (Mupirocin Betamethasone Dipropionate). I also tested negative for syphilis blood test. I haven't had sex for more than a year (14 months), so I was wondering what could this be? I have been masturbating frequently, reusing a handkerchief to wipe my semen off, i mentioned that cause the day after, a lump appeared and flaked off and reappeared as an "ulcer" after a week.
Avatar m tn Hello, Since the skin tests have come positive for the bacterial infection, so you can continue with Mupirocin which is a topical antibiotics. For specific antibiotics the culture sensitivity test will come positive and then only can they be prescribed. An oral course of antibiotic can be taken for very severe cases. I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
Avatar f tn I am not sexually active at all but lately i have noticed open sores on the inside of my labia. I have been sick for a few days and didnt shower so that may be the cause but im not sure. One place is swollen and has two smaller cuts and one large sore. Another place has.five small sores. They itch and burn when i pee and when im just doing normal activities. Im embarresed to tell my mom but mabye i should? Im not sure but they look gross and i get disgusted even thinking about them.
Avatar m tn Then he prescribed Doxycyline Hylcate pills which are used for staph infections. It got rid of the the bumps for a few months like the Mupirocin, but they came back a week ago. My doctor has said the previous tests may have been false negatives since we may not have caught it early enough. I really don't if it is Herpes or a Staph infection. Can anyone assist?
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 m tn But if you have had unprotected intercourse then it can be due to herpes sore. You should keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics and warm compresses. Also use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. In case the symptoms persist then get an evaluation done from a dermatologist and get cysts and herpes sores ruled out.
Avatar m tn Hi, on Sat while I was taking a shower, I felt a small bump up under and behind my testical. It looked like a whitehead pimple. I popped it and couldnt see if anything came out, I fussed with it several times trying to pop it and it started to bleed a bit and was sore from squeezing it. the next day my wife pulled 2 fine hairs out of the middle and it had a tiny crater.

Avatar f tn Have you had a blood test for herpes? Herpes testing is not a part of the regular STD testing.
Avatar f tn Once you get herpes, it lays dormant in nerves for the rest of your life, and can re-manifest itself on the skin during recurrent outbreaks. Herpes blisters don't really pop like pimples, because pimples are full off thick pus. (Plus, it would really hurt to pop a herpes blister).Herpes blisters are filled with almost clear fluid. It is generally unusual to show your first symptoms after a year, but it is possible.
Avatar f tn / my mom gets hemorrhoids could these bumps be hemorrhoids? The bumps are around my tho... Or could the itchy bum be from herpes? No bumps on my bum.. Please help!
Avatar m tn t at all sound herpes related, as herpes does not flare and subside day after day for weeks. Neither doctor felt it was herpes, either. Follow-up with your dermtologist if it's still bothering you.
Avatar m tn I am a 23 year old straight male in good physical shape. I am constantly doing physical activties, it is a big part of my life. Over a year ago, I went to costa rica. I was there for about a week, swimming and surfing constantly. I don't think I practiced good hygene. I used the same swimming trunks over and over if it makes a difference. I slept with a prositute and had vaginal sex. She also performed oral sex on me with a condom on.
Avatar m tn Does this virus appear different for different people? Can folliscilitis can be confused of herpes? They have prescribed an anti bacteria (mupirocin) for a few days, and I am hoping it subsides!! Can any of you well informed people put my mind at rest please? I have no pain, no fever, no itching, no discharge since I discovered it. Please help!!
Avatar m tn Hi, Please see attached image. I've had this situation for a few days now. It feels painful and significantly worse than any kind of inflammation I normally get in the area from shaving/ingrown hairs etc. Have I got some kind of bacterial infection or is does this look more like a herpes outbreak? I've had coldsores for long time but never had any kind of STD affecting my genitalia. Could somebody please over their best advice on what this is.
Avatar f tn Cleaning with some anti-septic solution and anti-biotic course under general physician’s guidance will lessen the symptoms. Till then, topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful. If the symptoms persist then you may need incision and drainage and get STD’s like herpes ruled out. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar m tn Hi you would need to test for herpes to rule it out but considering that herpes outbreaks are most often painful blisters at first i would feel confortable its not herpes but just and inflammed area.
Avatar m tn I went to the doctor that day and told him about the indecent and he said if it was herpes I was the most unlucky guy he ever met. He gave me Mupirocin Ointment. Day 7 thru day 11 = The burning in my stomach intensified and spread to my lower back and chest. Then to my arms and legs. During these days, I fell absolutely horrible, like the worst flu I ever had. Day 11 = I go back to the doctor and they prescribe Doxycycline Monohydrate.
Avatar f tn Hello, These sores can be due to folliculitis, boils or herpes sores if you are sexually active. For folliculitis, keep the area clean and apply some topical antiseptics. Also wear loose-fitting cotton clothing and use an antibacterial soap or mild soap like dove. Avoid any kind of cosmetics. Topical antibiotics such as mupirocin or neomycin containing ointment are also useful .In case the symptoms persist then oral antibiotics may be needed.
Avatar n tn Please consult a dermatologist in that case. Herpes Herpes also presents with red itchy blisters which scab over. Herpes simplex is most easily transmitted by direct contact with a lesion or the body fluid of an infected individual. The only way of ruling it out is by getting yourself tested for genital herpes.
Avatar m tn But they could be herpes, only thing is that herpes would leave sores and liquid come out from them when popped.
Avatar f tn never really noticed them before but for some reason I have been looking lately ....Ive been having 1-3 single pimples on my buttock that go away within 2 days....could this be herpes? they dont hurt, dont blister...look like pimples and disappear...i have been extremely stressed lately but they seem to reappear every couple weeks....
