valtrex
Take the medicine and if you feel a tingle like another cold sore is coming, use the valacyclovir. You may have angiokeratoma of Fordyce which normally goes away if left alone.
I have had cold sores since I was like 3 ;I met someone I deeply cared for and love..I am a lesbian by the way..I telling u this because of the questions I have.
So we got tested and everything came back negative for me except of course HSV1 and for her all was negative.
Here are my questions and thank u in advance for answering them:
1. I have read so many different percentages of shedding from 5% to 18% the highest..which is closer to the truth?
2.
I would like to add that I had also taken valacyclovir prior. It was four pills-two day dosage. I'm not sure if that is a decrease in spreading the sti but I'm just hoping at this point.
Even if it isnt, if I engage in oral sex with a woman (regardless if theses are cold sores or not), can I transfer herpes virus to her? My current partner has just been diagnosed with HSV-1 on her genitals and I fear that I am the culprit. She did have another partner a few months ago, but developed symptoms a few days after we engaged in oral sex. I plan to get tested as soon as possible, but was hoping for some info in the meantime. What else do I need to tell you?
What is the normal dosage of valacyclovir for suppression? I have read several places say 500 mg some say 1000. What is right or normal dosage?
Valtrex is valacyclovir which would be a very effective preventative medication to block herpes simplex 1 which is the most frequent cause of cold sores (aphthous ulcers) and sores around the mouth. It sounds like cold sores, and you could find our for sure by having the open sore cultured by your doctor. If it's not blocking forming these sores, it could be something else.
I started getting sores on my tongue after i get a cold sore, which I have always had, about 5 months ago and these sores on my tongue have been constant since than. The start as a small dot that develops a white ring and the white ring spreads outward and the sore gets bigger with a shallow red sore inside it. They start and take about 10-15 days to heal and typically occur in same areas, back of tongue and tip of tongue. My tongue also feels hot and burns.
hi, i've recently had unprotected oral sex with a guy about 17 days ago. don't know his history as this was a one night stand. this didn't last long, maybe a few minutes, and he did not ejaculate. also, i was touching him prior to that. 2 days after i began to fell a burning sensation on the tip of my tongue, roof of my mouth and back of my throat. there are no visable sores. aday later felt weak and tired for the first part of the day.
Condoms for sure unless you know your partner has HSV-1, in the form of cold sores or other evidence. Once a person has HSV-1, they cannot get it again. As I said, valacyclovir suppression has not been studied for genital HSV-1 and will not be (too rare and would require far too large a study). Suppressive therapy would, in theory, be of some benefit. Finally, disclosure of he fact is always a good thing.
I get bikini waxes and engage in oral genital sex with my longtime partner. He occasionally has cold sores. A few weeks ago in early April just after he was getting over a cold sore and just after I had a waxing he gave me oral sex. Within a week I felt a lump I went to a dermatologist and was told I had a cyst. They drained it, but I was tested for STDs out of an abundance of caution. (I had NO IDEA I could get herpes from cold sores....
It’s hard to keep herpes sores clean because they often leak the yellow gooey fluid. Who can help me to dry the sores out quickly.
I have been experiencing all-over-body nerve tingling for about 10 months now, after a strangely over the top outbreak of cold sores (HSV1) on my chin, nose & upper lip - the nerve tingling happens: scalp, ears, eyelids, nose, temples, armpits, arms, hands, groin, knees, feet, all over the place. Normally, throughout my teenage years, I would just get a single cold sore on one lip, thought nothing of it, but this outbreak had multiple small spots, lasted longer, and they were quite painful.

Would you double the valacyclovir dosage or at least up it? What about for long-term suppressive therapy? If someone could in particular elucidate how valacyclovir works and WHY it would be important/ unimportant to adjust that dosage based on wanting to suppress both conditions, you would have my eternal thanks.
However, ever since December 2009 I have been experiencing chronic outbreaks of cold sores. I sought medical attention this past February and was put on Valtrex. I noticed that the sores were getting more severe around the time of my period. Several doctors told me that going on a low hormone birth control (ortho tri cyclen lo) would be the solution. It has definitely decreased the severity of the sores during the time of my period.
I don't think they are cold sores. I have tried valacyclovir pills, eczema cream, antibacterial ointments, proactive, petroleum jelly, blistex, fluticasone propionate cream and have iced it and there has been no difference. Someone please help!!!
My doctor told me that even though I get cold sores on my lips, i can't give it to myself genitally, because the virus is already in my system, is this true?
I talk valacyclovir for herpes out breaks I have a high dosage one for when I get them it doesn't harm the baby.
Though this is my first pregnancy and I'm 7 weeks.
They told me once I get closer to my due date to take them daily so there is no break out.
Many women have oral cold sores, thus HSV1, and hence will often experience less severe symptoms if they become infected genitally and this will usually be with HSV2. A common explanation here is that you have received oral sex from a partner in the 2-10 days leading into the first symptoms appearing.
Only in a few circumstances does the first outbreak last weeks.
