just wanted to add that I had a pea size ingrown hair that had been there for about a month or so i decided to squeeze, two days later I ended up with these spots that spread, they didn’t come out as a cluster or blisters nothing itchy just lesions, seen the dr and waiting on results but was tested 6 months ago and was negative for all std/sti dr said looks like herpes and gave me antibiotics which has cleared them up with in about 48 hoirs
looks like herpes , have they cleared up now x
not completely, the antibiotics I am taking have cleared them almost completely though
yes that does look like herpes, im recently diagnosed so if you need someone to talk to feel free to message me
keep me updated please
thank you I'm always open to talk, I'm so frustrated and don't understand this at all tbh this is the first time in all my 37 years I've ever dealt with something like this , and all other hsv test have been negative my husband's was negative and we had sex while these things were on me he has well ya know (oral) and nothing on or in his mouth so and he's had blood work done everything has been negative cant wait until tomorrow to get the results....😕
Well I dont know what school the doctor went to. But antibiotics against herpes? Hmm..
Antibiotics works on most bacteria except a few that are called super bugs which are resistant against most antibioticum. Since herpes is a virus and it usually called a oportunistic virus which means that it will attack when you are feeling down or your defenses are low. Which will begin the outbreak.
Virus replikates it self with help of living cells. Since its not living its not part of the "bio" in anti-Bio-tica which means it that antibiotica wont bother them. However there is some treatment, for example Valaciclovir that will indeed help against virus and the way it works is that it will interrupt the virus RNA/DNA stage in the replikation process. There is a small chance even then for the virus to mutate and become immune to medicin but with some tweaking you can change the attack strategy and attack the virus in another stage, earlier or later... Depending on the mutation.
So to sum it up. Its all in your head if you think antibiotics is helping. Furthermore, you are actually causing your body and its normal bacteria flora to be affected. Which then can cause other bacteria to also be oppurtinistic and cause other illness and in worst case scenario, sepsis. I recommend you stop with the antibiotica and let it heal by itself or treat the symptoms and not the disease.
I was negative just got the call
I was negative
happy to hear that, what test was used
igg I believe
great news. honestly that didn't look like it at all to me anyway. but when all these ppl started being so assertive about it, I didn't want to say anything.
good (: did they know what caused it?
i still believe you tested to early doc should have taken a swab
I'm still unsure about it all myself, I still have that one lesion that's sore, all the rest are gone, I just didn't have all the classic symptoms of what I've read i know everyone is different and their bodies react different, but one thing remains the same and thats everyone has at least one or more of the same symptoms..... i know i have never had anything like this pop up or show up and I was tested several times in the past, before I thought this could be hsv and I got the first lesions me and my hubby had sex which was about 11 days ago so far he's showed no signs or symptoms, there's been many occasions hes has gave me oral and still no symptoms for him...
I had no symptoms until I found a small knot under the skin that had been there for a while i wanna say at least a month or 2 maybe more it wasn't sore or itchy 🤔 so I thought why not squeeze it which I had done several times and nothing happened until this last time which I believe was the 15 or 16 within 24-48 hours I had the first lesion right where I was squeezing it didn't itch or burn, but I did find a infected hair and plucked it...the next day the whole left labia was sore and covered in these white looking craters...but they weren't painful at the time and we had sex....thinking i was experiencing some type of reaction to me squeezing on such a sensitive area...I did experiencing some horrible stinging burn pain the next day I was assuming because he ejaculated in me and that added to the irritation so I go to the dr because its so painful and she looks and automatically says herpes gives me antibiotics and which was the 23 and by the 24th most of them had completely disappeared, so all I have left is the one in the pic which is still sore and the left labia where the other lesions where is still lumpy like small knots under the skin sooooo like I said wtf is actually going on this is what my whole left labia looked like
