Does this look like herpes?

Posted , 5 users are following.

I read that most people do not have outbreaks for years. The bumps do not hurt, and only itch a little. I suffer from eczema as well. No sore directly on my vulva, about 4 on pubic area and the rest are on my upper/mid thigh area.

    they are spread via skin to skin contact and the fluid inside them is contagious it can live on towels for up two hours and clothing

    how long have you had them? i agree that is looks like molluscum but how long they last is a big indicator. Molluscum is a viral infection spread by contact so it can be sexually transmitted but people also get it from hugging, shaking hands, etc.

      u need to be careful as its easily passed to other people by close skin to skin contact sharing towels and beds and clothing as it can live off the body for up to 2 hours theres treatment for it but they are quite harsh and untreated it does go away usually but sometimes can last up to 12/18 months sometimes longer sometimes less they pop up in crops so when them ones go they will pop up somewere else and so on

    it mollscum. i would go to the doctor to see if they can remove as much as possible. it will hurt but it will stop them from spreading. after that i recommend dabbing them with apple cider vinegar twice a day till they dry out and you can pull and clean the inside of it out to prevent it from spreading

    I went to the doctor and am waiting for them to call with results, but she does not think its mc. most of the bumps have either went down or completely went away, could this just be some weird rash? but I could tell she was not very educated on mc, so I don't even know what to believe. It has been almost 5 days and still no call back.
