I keep getting these and they go away. I read that it's associated with herpes but could also be associated with yeast which I know I have yeast right now and a bacterial infection. These come and go pretty quickly. I can't find it now. Also a picture of what I look like but I think my inflammation is going down since I took the yeast medication this morning. The only time I am "irritated" right now is when I start to have the discharge and then I am bothered otherwise as long as I am dry I seem to be fine. I was against posting pictures online but if it can help others then so be it. Also I have found a website with a ton of women who get cuts and yeast and have no stds so it seems like it is more common than I initially expected but of course after a new sexual encounter the only thing I can think of is worse case scenario stds. Just curious if anyone else with herpes though is getting this? It seems most on this forum are not really from what I could find.
Have you recently been on anti-biotics?
I have been on antibotics for 6 weeks on and off. I am currently on antibiotics now for the yeast and bacterial infection. I am on Metronidazole which I think because they extended the dosage another 7 days I got the yeast again so I went to Urgent Care last night and they gave me flucanazole for yeast. I took that this morning and so I seem ok I guess for now but it seems every time I am completely off meds or miss a dose the symptoms immediately return.
what website?
I can't post my pictorials however I had those before I ever had an outbreak
medhelp. org just google paper cuts and yeast and there are dozens of complaints of the same thing I am dealing with on that website. I can inbox you the link
Anti-biotics work on all bacteria in the body. Including the vaginal bacteria that keep the natural yeast in check. They can multply out of control while on anti-biotics and that's why so many women get thrush while on them.
please do! thanks dear
I think I am starting to get oral thrush from it. I am so annoyed. My birthday is a week from today and I just want to drink and have sex and can't do either! ARGH!
How soon after that did you get the outbreak? I have had these symptoms for 6 weeks but only two cuts in that time frame. I think you can only post picturs when you are on your computer and not a cell phone. I don't get the picture thing unless I am on a computer.
I can't remember, but did you get the paper-cut swabbed again (and actually tested!) when it was new? A PCR swab, in particular, would be able to pick up herpes from that, I'm sure.
No because it comes and goes so quick. If I had it tonight would be gone tomorrow. I am doing the blood test this week I was going to wait until after my birthday but I want to know now. I am just concerned it will still come up negative because it's only been 6 weeks today. I think that herpes book I read says two months after infection it should come back 74% of the time with a result. I am not even that close yet. I hope it picks it up if it's what I have. I hate waiting around. If I get a paper cut I will go back too but they are quick. I was actually surprised the last one was gone because it was worse then the first one. It was more open. >.<
Herpes lesions don't usually come and (especially) go so quickly, so I am still thinking it's not GH.
They dont show so quickly?
They can appear out of the blue, but they don't usually clear up so quickly, then suddenly reappear/disappear elsewhere.
Fyi, I have just read on the Westover Heights Q&A forum with GH expert Terri Warren that paper-cut lesions are not typical of a first GH outbreak, especially if you've not had oral cold sores in the past. First GH outbreaks usually present with more typical lesions. I'll message you the link.
I woke up this morning feeling normal. It's not as irritated as before and it still does not burn when I urinate. So, thats good, I think.
That sounds promising! Hopefully it will continue to recover.
Hey did you find out if this was Herpes with you??
Hi. Did you ever get results for this?
