My daughter was diagnosed with Behcet's in 2008. Then in 2009 she contracted herpes (hsv2). She is now having an outbreak of herpes (starting to get under control after 2 rounds of valtrex, back on acyclovir for 2 days) and a flare of Behcet's. Prednisone will make the painful vaginal Behcet's lesions go away but will cause another outbreak of herpes.
Does anyone have any suggestions? She's about to leave for a required college trip.
Thanks.
I went to the dr shortly after and they looked at my genetals and saw nothing and gave me hydrocortisone creme and medicine for folliculitis to help with itching. I did have a small red pimple where my leg meets my butt. I also had a very small bump on my penis that looked like a hair follicle bump (no puss, not red, looked nothing like herpes, skin color). I scratched it (so it was curable) and the woman took a swab test to have it tested.
been there for almost a year, been to doctor several times , got hydrocortisone and antifungla creams and antifungal tablet... doesnt completely fix it up. very frustrated, really want this gone. literary 10 months, red spot on glans of penis. doctor said to abstain from masturbation for 3 weeks to see what happens and get hsv1/2 test. almost clears up with hydrocortisone, but then i probally irritate it with masturbation.
My doctor was referring to a study wehre Acyclovir slowed disease progression in HIV by reducing viral load. And so he thought Acyclovir might have a direct effect (even if it is low) on HIV. Maybe he thought that by decreasing viral load antybodies would show up later than in the absence of Acyclovir?
Once and awhile I will get a migraine often accompanied with with a scalp breakout and I stop taking the Acyclovir and lysine until the pain goes away. Then I resume my acyclovir and lysine. I now rarely have any problems. But I always have to go a week once and a while without my Acyclovir and Lysine. Is the herpes virus simply one of my triggers or is the herpes virus the root cause off all my migraines, I don't know. The pain and breakouts are always hemispheric in nature.
After applying hydrocortisone for 4 days the small red spots are gone and the one larger remaining spot is almost vanished completely. At this rate, it will probably be completely cleared up within the next two days. I honestly thought It was possible I had warts. I assume hydrocortisone wouldn't be able to clear something like that up. Any ideas what I had?
My doctor had suggested it could be warts but told me I would need to have a biopsy to know for sure.
Few Lesions (pimple like with red base) come and go everywhere in my body (cheeks, forehead, ear pinna, eyelids, chest, arm, forearm...). I have took acyclovir only for 10 days in October and am suffering a couple of lesions coming up and clearing in few days every now and then. This is companied by random itching occurring in different parts of the body without visible lesions, I also felt some shooting pain for a few seconds (rarely) into my penis.
I would rather you just stay in one thread than open up new posts - it helps and makes responding faster for me and others too.
Stress dosing is quite an art. Yes, it needs to be done for physical stress such as illness but some people get ill with emotional stress. I needed to stress dose when my mom died - so it does happen and people dose up to travel (TSA!!! LOL) but you need to balance as to do it do that you get enough to keep healthy without going over as too much is damaging.
I picked up some hydrocortisone and used it on my penis and it mitigated the itching for a while. I never got any sores there did appear to be a very small red rash. Then my penis felt strange and hurt like I've never felt it before. Pain that was kind of deep inside like an irritated urethra. I had no pain urinating. When I got home two days later I ran to the doctor and got the whole Bank of STD tests. All tested negative including IGG and IGM.
I use acyclovir to and you must know that it doesnt take effect spontaneously especially the first time your using it. It helps relieve the pain though but might take some time to take effect. Just continue use it and youll see the sore will go away within 3-4 days instead of the usual 7-8 days they take to go away.
s more about your genes as to how often you get recurrences than anything you are doing as far as diet, stress reduction and exercise. Eating healthy , exercising and keeping stress low are always a good idea but honestly they have little to do with how often you get recurrences :(
no reason to stop eating chocolate!! It won't decrease your ob's and if you are anything like me, you eating chocolate is some days what keeps you from stabbing people....
I am taking L-Lysene as a suppressor and only take the Acyclovir at the first sign of an outbreak. I was taking 1000mg Valtrex at onset and then 500mg twice a day and everything was clear in 3 days. To get the same effectiveness from Acyclovir how much should I be taking daily during out breaks? I have tried 600mg Acyc 3 times a day but it takes 7 days to clear up. Please advise.
correct - he's negative and so are you so no reason to take acyclovir. You don't have any reason to think that you have genital herpes.
I was told I had genital herpes 3 days ago. The outbreak started about 6 days ago. This is the first outbreak and it's extremely painful. The Dr gave me Acyclovir to take for 7 days. How long will it take for it to stop hurting? How long will it take for the Acyclovir to work?
