Hey guys.
I will be going to the doctor tomorrow to get a definite diagnosis. But I just tried my best to keep the area dry. I read baking soda helps. I tried that and it burned like crazy after a while. Then I rinsed it off. It eliminated majority of the sores in less than a day. From the original pictures that were taken Friday, I know have maybe two sores and no bumps at all as of Saturday night. It definitely helped that area to heal faster. Also I’m keeping it clean by watching it with water every time I use the restroom. I have literally been taking a water bottle and pouring it over the area when I pee to eliminate the burning. Then I wash it out afterwards to make sure the area is nice and clean. Wearing loose clothing helps keep the area dryer. Going commando is helpful also. The ob started about Tuesday for me so it’s beem less than a week and it’s looking like it should be completely clear before it’s even been a week! I still plan on seeing a doctor tomorrow and getting on suppressive meds. I’ve heard that some people can go as long as 10 years without and another outbreak so I’m hoping that can happen to me. Also, some believe that hsv can be cured. Experts say no but there are people that followed teachings of Dr. Sebi that claim he found a cure. However the steps are very complicated. But some how found success in doing it and claim to be cured but who really know? The virus could just be dormant or they could have been negative in the first place.

That's good that you were prescribed some suppressants. They will definitely help if you have another outbreak. Let me know if you have any questions!?

Ouch, that looks sore! I do see ulceration, which is suggestive of herpes, although it looks overly clustered. Has it been spreading like a rash? I would still get that swabbed asap, not only to be sure, but to also type it if it is indeed herpes. Don't self-diagnose.
