I don't know what caused them. I don't eat sugar or drink caffeinated things. I do have genital herpes so it was confusing. But the goldenseal works.
That's odd! This is my second time after 4 years experiencing something like this. Were they painful too then? How do you use the goldenseal on them I have read some really good stuff about goldenseal!!!
Does yours come up as bumps also which are sore and painful?
The tincture comes in an eyedropper bottle, just put some on your finger and apply to painful places, then wash hands well. The tincture is extremely yellow so don't wear white undies or they will get yellow! Do it twice a day for 3 or 4 days. The sores should recur much less often. When they do come back just keep applying, and they should come less often in future. It is very soothing, stops the itch and pain.
