Hi, so a few days ago I was diagnosed with GH, and it came to light that my boyfriend had given it to be after knowing he had coldsores yet failing to mention it to me. I'm in agony when I need to use the bathroom, and wondered if anyone had any tips? and also how I should feel towards my ex boyfriend - is there anything I can do? Thank you so much
Hun, nobody mentions having cold sores really.... It's not been thought to be a big deal, although they should have to disclose that, since it spreads just like hsv2 does to the genitals.
Soak in Epsom salt baths as much and as long as possible. Spray bactine spray on there for numbing. Vaseline for coatjng as a protectamt helps w the friction and sokthes it, vs drying it out. That's a myth, don't fall for that drying out thing. I've seen sores stick around for months, and some heels in 1 days, faster than a normal sound would heal. It's about whether the virus is present on your skin it not. Drying it out is pretty painful too.. Will make it feel like cracked skin.
When testing, use a cold pack w paper towels wrapped around it, to place between your legs. Motrin every 4hrs, 800mlgs... That's the most you can d o for relief. For the first OB, you gotta just ride it out. Hang in there, it gets better
Hey, yeah I guess people don't really mention it but if I had a cold sore I wouldn't even kiss someone, let alone anything else when I know it could infect them, his own stupidity I suppose.
Thank you I shall try that, thought drying them out didn't sound like a good idea, though I've read about applying tea tree oil to them? Not that I fancy enduring the stinging haha..
Thanks, hopefully better soon
Tea tree oil really doesn't do anything either.. I think it's like a placebo effect for people and the smell is very strong. People will smell it on you.
The bactine spray will do the trick. Has numbing angents in it.
