Common Questions and Answers about Valtrex liquid

valtrex

Avatar f tn Hi, about one week ago I started to have this red, itchy spot which is much like a pimple on my chin. After 2 days I kinda squeezed the yellow liquid inside out, without any force though because it was quite soft. Two days later 4 or 5 of similar new ones showed up, each has yellow liquid inside and very much resembles herpes cold sores. I went to the dermatologist and he said it was herpes. I did not do any blood test though.
Avatar m tn A genital herpes infection has not been confirmed for you. You would be better placed to stop taking valtrex and retest in 12 weeks time.
Avatar f tn Since this area is moist and not exposed to air, the lesion is not healing quickly. I am on day three of five of Valtrex. I have been applying cornstarch to the area in hopes of helping it dry, however with negative results. I also use my blow dryer on a low heat setting to help dry the area, especially after a shower. Can I use anti fungal cream on this lesion, or continue with the powder until the area dries?
Avatar m tn 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. Fast forward 8 months later, I start getting more and more mini-outbreaks, not as bad as the first one.
Avatar n tn Boric acid is know to cause skin irritation. And Valtrex? Do you have herpes? Why were you given Valtrex? Can you try tucks wipes? You put them in your under pants and leave them there. It can be very soothing and healing. Witch hazel dabbed on the area? Other than that, you need to again go to your doctor fo diagnose what is going on. But more may not be better with all this stuff you are using on and off.
Avatar m tn It did not look like a herpes blister (when I squeezed it, white pus came out. There was no clear liquid and it did not look like a blister). I immediately thought that I may have infected myself (oral HSV-1 to genital HSV-1) since I had a coldsore the week before. Since I had I valtrex on hand, I took 2 immediately thinking it may afford me some protection (not sure if this is the case though). I took another 2 pills the next day.
Avatar f tn I took her backup to the vet, he gave her a valtrex (her lungs I guess are pretty bad) and a another shot of steroids. The valtrex was to help her breath better, which it seems to be doing. However, she still isn't eating, when she got the first steroid shot she was eating with in an hour or so. Now she just looks at her food, sniffs it and walks off. I even got her kitty milk, which she normally loves and nothing.
Avatar m tn 1 day later (On Sunday night), I noticed white cloudy liquid coming out at start of urination. Same white cloudy liquid just came out at start of urination on Monday & Tuesday morning. I booked an appointment with doc immediately and did test on Thursday (4 days from exposure for Gonorrhea, Chlamydia and Urine Culture), all results came back negative. Doc gave me a shot of Kanamycin just in case since I already had the white cloudy liquid coming out in mornings.
Avatar f tn What sypmtoms should I look for even while on my the Valtrex 1 mg/day? Do antibiotics cause Valtrex to be ineffective. I think I may be having an outbreak now but do not see any visible signs of blisters. A couple of weird things have happened though. I started taking antibiotics for a sore throat 10 days ago and I think it turned into a yeast infection. Now I just checked and I have what appear to be little cuts along my vaginal wall opening. There are also a couple near my bottom.
Avatar m tn Thus it was nine days into the outbreak, I gather, before I got on Valtrax and since I thought I had hemeroids on my anus I had been using my hemoroid cream (hydrocortisone) which probably made things worse. So, finally got on my Valtrex and started to feel much better, but after 10 days on Valtrex still have a lot of itchiness in my vagina and at the base of my spine (top of *** crack).
Avatar f tn Can the surgery cause a flare up? I take Valtrex 1 gm daily for suppression. Could this affect the anesthesia? Do I have to tell the surgeon?
Avatar m tn Hi Terri, I continued to have those intervals of perianal redness and tingling, but now as of december, accompanied by many tiny red dots on my upper inside right thigh, they look like folloculitos but they are not all at hair follicule locations! many are "in between". They are not liquid filled, just red and tender. They toned down after a week but its been 3 weeks now and they are still visible and have not disappeared.
Avatar f tn Hi there. About 4 or 5 weeks ago, I noticed some small white bumps around the base of the shaft of my penis, but didn't think much of it. It didn't go away so after about 1.5 weeks, I went to an urgent care clinic. The Dr. there had a look and asked if I'd ever had cold sores. I havent, but he didn't say anything more than that and never mentioned Herpes. He did no tests (blood or swab) and sprayed the lesions with liquid nitrogen.
Avatar f tn I get the characteristic itching, tingling and redness at different locations on my right index finger only. The blisters begin to swell and fill with liquid, mostly clear liquid. The finger gets very tender. Unfortunately, since I was diagnosed with MRSA last year in that same finger, I assumed each recurrence was MRSA. MRSA infections need to be drained to get better. So I was playing doctor at home and cutting the blisters open and draining them.
Avatar f tn Zovirax ointment doesn't do a lot for cold sores anyways and it's incredibly overpriced unless you have good insurance. At this point - if your child's doctor is unconcerned, ask for a consult to a pediatric dermatologist. Confirm that indeed this is hsv1 related - 6 recurrences in 2 months is incredibly high even for oral herpes so it needs a further evaluation to make sure that it really is herpes going on.
Avatar f tn How good does valtrex work in suppressing HSV 1 I started taking 1000 mg a day?
Avatar f tn So now that i found out that i have hsv-1 do i need to take valtrex everyday for the rest of my life if i dont want to get my partner infected?
Avatar f tn My doctor told me to stop taking Valtrex for a while to let my liver regenerate. While I think Valtrex is an excellent drug for treating HSV 2, I think users should take into consideration that long term use can cause some mild to moderate damage to the liver as my tests have proven. Also, anyone using Valtrex should not drink ANY alcohol while on it because it will exacerbate the problem with your liver. I'm hoping in a few weeks my liver tests go back to normal.
Avatar n tn I have not had any outbreaks at all, I occasionally have burning and itching, but beyond that nothing else. I have been on supressive therapy w/ Valtrex since the end of may. I have had pain on lower right abdomen, under my ribcage it feels, and pain on my right lower back. Is this a symptom of Herpes, or can this be a reaction to the Valtrex?
Avatar m tn I have been on valtrex for the past 4 months (1 a day) if the symptoms I am having have not gone away for a period of 2 years ( symptoms are there for a week then subside for 2 - 3 days then come back ) this has been like clockwork for the past 2 years.
127596 tn?1210922622 Instead I found an empty bottle of Valtrex, prescribed to her. Needless to say, there was no way in hell I was going to use any toothbrush in there. Rather than blowing up about it, I came home and did some research. But I was sad to find that Valtrex is only prescribed for Simplex I, Simplex II and Zosters. So I asked her about it (via instant message - is that bad?). She said she gets cold sores sometimes, and the Valtrex gets rid of them quickly.
Avatar n tn What is the possibility of being immune to Valtrex? Is there a possibility that after taking Valtrex daily that in a couple years it may no longer be effective?
Avatar n tn my partner who i met has been on Valtrex for a couple of years and the pass year we had unprotected sex. I went and got tested and my blood work came back negative. She is ok with the results and angry that she allowed me to convince her and not using condoms. I just can't explained why we did it without condoms only that I love her and we are getting marry.
Avatar f tn How would the Valtrex slow down antibody production? Would it suppress the virus to the nerve ganglia before the body can start to develop an immunity response.
