Avatar m tn If what I have is indeed herpes, what would the mupirocin do (if anything) to the area? Things have definitely improved, but I'm trying to gauge if it's a fluke or not. Any information will help. Thank you.
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 negative hsv1 can also mean dormant hsv as well. In addition Herpes simplex 2, and shingles can cause similar symptoms as well.
Avatar m tn My blood test and skin test came back negative for herpes. When I went to a urologist, he told me the skin test pretty much said I had a bacterial infection and told me to continue taking a cream called Muripocin. I woke up this morning and noticed little bumps on my foreskin that were itchy. When I touched them a little bit of water came out. What could this be?
Avatar f tn 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. 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 I have had many blood tests, one culture test, and one biopsy test (where they cut off a piece of the bump for testing). But they have always shown negative for herpes. My doctor prescribed Mucpirocin bacterial ointment and it did work for a few months but they came back. 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.
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 n tn I had 1 red bump in my pubic hair region too. Does herpes sore appear as 1 red bump? That happened quite long ago, around 1 or 2 years. If it's herpes, will it come back agn? >.< I'm really really worried tho my ex-bf said he doesn't have herpes. Is herpes labialis the same as the genital herpes? Cuz I'm diagnosed with that instead of the genital one. Omg I'm really scared and paranoid! Reply soon thanks!
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 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. Don't assume the first thing it could be is herpes though, because lots of things can occur on skin that is moist 24/7!
Avatar f tn I started off with having 2 and went to plan parenthood to get them checked out, to see if the bumps could possibly be herpes. The doctor there said they did not look like herpes just earrited normal bumps... I now have more about 3weeks after my doctors visit the original 2 are staring to go away... Is this herpes?? I am very worried! I am in a committed relationship and we both were checked for stds before dating each other, so he says he was. I trust him..
Avatar m tn he looked at the area, and said it was healing fine and that the unhealthy bacteria had probably gotten in the area, and that I was having heat rashes in that area. He gave me some antibacterial soap to use and Mupirocin 2%. The Mupirocin would help, but whenever I get hot and it not on the area, it becomes irritated. It also started to make the area started feeling dry and kind of itchy.
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 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 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 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 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 m tn On Sept 13th, I had sex with a lady using a condom but she performed some oral on me unprotected. On Oct 7th, I had sex with another lady using condom and she masturbated me using her saliva as lube. On Oct 11th, I noticed two small scabs on my foreskin. Scared, I went to a dermatologist who said they could be herpes but wasn't sure.
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 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.
55646 tn?1263660809 After years of nothing new in herpes research, everything is new right now. 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 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....
Avatar n tn My wife and I both have HSV-1, and I am wondering if there is a possibilty that the herpes virus has spread to my genitals during oral sex, but this does not seem to fit the normal description of herpes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
