So I’m on day five on my first initial OB.
I have a very itchy vagina normally, always have. I have very sensitive skin in general and have always had rashes and been a scratcher. I’m actually doing very well not scratching myself though, probably because of fear.
Anyways like I said this is my first OB and I don’t recall any symptoms as far as tingling but now suddenly my butt is tingling all over! Is it bad to scratch when it only tingles??
I’m on day two of my medicine (acyclovir) and I’m nervous it’s going to continue spreading because of the tingles and because I started the medicine too late.
Any advice would be great!
Hi jes, first of all dont panic. Second, i think you have to avoid scratching by all means.
I did not recognize it was HSV in My first OB and i went scratching too much. Unfortunately, i had a scar in my penis later but i was lucky that my first OB was limited to one place. You can consult your doctor for topical staff to relieve it. I had read that vitamin E can help.
Hope you pass it safely
Hi Jes, Breathe Love
did your doctor mention it’s okay to double up , because what I do is take one daily and during and outbreak take two pills a day and it goes away faster . But I only get an outbreak if I’m lazy and don’t take it daily and of course if I’m stressed .
I hope you feel better and it goes away soon
