Is this herpes?



It’s been bothering me since December, it comes and goes every month, it didn’t itch before but now it does heeeeeeeeeeeeeelp :frowning:

based on the blisters on your lips it looks similar to herpes but do you have blisters on your genital area recently aswell? because that can be a strong indication that it is herpes.

No, I don’t have any sign or symptoms on my genital area,
I took acyclovir pills but they did not have any effect :frowning:

go get tested for herpes 1&2 Igg believe results not people

Dear dora,

This is angular cheilitis, not herpes. It is frequently caused by candida ( a yeast infection) and/or staphylococcus (a bacterial infection).

If it’s quite itchy, it is more likely to be candida so try to get Canesten, Canesten-HC or Daktacort ointment from your local pharmacist or drugstore and apply it twice a day to the affected areas for a week or so.

Adhari.
