All my pain has left I can cough stand and sit in peace now but the blisters bumps and everything else is still around my vagina. My vagina is itching so bad and now my butt is itching to. It IS possible for the outbreak to travel to my butt correct? Everything itchs so bad I can't stop scratching
Hey jasmine,
Yes it's possible you have to be careful when wiping. I used so much tissue bc I used a different piece to wipe my vagina and butt. Try to keep it clean and don't use the same rag I used a different one everyday just bc.
Try using baking soda to dry up the blisters take a cotton ball wet it with water and dap it in baking soda and put it on the infected area do not double dapper use a clean cotton ball for a different area.
Take espom salt baths and dry affected area with hair dryer on low cool setting.
I hope this works for you good luck.
As I was healing from my outbreak (I have hsv1-g) I thought that I was having another outbreak or spread it to another part of my body as well. I wasn't in pain anymore but still had the bumps and just got so itchy that I couldn't even sleep. That is normal and part of the healing process. I used a hair dryer and when I would get out of the shower I would use that to dry the area. It helps to dry out the bumps faster and it helped make them go away. Just try not to itch them too much so you don't break them open and have to do it all over again. I know it is unbearable at times and you have to itch but really keep it to a minimum. I hope this helps
See if the dr's office can prescribe you something to help- topical lidocaine or anti-itch ointment.
And consider whether there's another concurrent infection causing it, like yeast or bacterial. Those require different treatment.
Have your doctor prescribe you Zovirax cream. It will go away in 3days
Tea tree oil is antiseptic and relieves itching.
