Drying out herpes blisters quickly

I have just found out month ago I wonder how stupid I am !!!!I am 63 !!!! Haven't had blisters just the itching almost drove me crazy. My X-boyfriends is who gave it to me and he knew he had it but did not tell me. Now he is mad at me for " outing"him I have a GREAT doctor and I will get through this. I just need to talk to others who are living with this

well have had it since i was 15. I got it from when i was raped when i was 8. I was raped repeatedly for 4 years. I had it since i was a kid but had by first outbreak at 15. I use coconut oil warmed on a rag to calm the pain and itching after a bath. It works. I also take coconut oil pills. i find that stress triggers my outbreaks. Working out can help minimize the amount of outbreaks as well. I experiment on myself.It works. Eat a lot of detoxing foods as well.

Thank you so much for your advice. I am so sorry to hear how you got it and the horrific abuse. I went through some similar abuses. We are SURVIVORS! Wishing you the best. Thank you again.

Baking soda works for me I you it in the shower it dries them up istantly

Yep me too. But this last outbreak has been overwhelming and sore and not sure what to do on them to dry them out. Blah

I just found out I have herpes and I don’t know how to deal with any of the pain, or even what to do. I am taking medication but this is my first time with an outbreak and it’s so painful. I cry every time I use the restroom I’m afraid to eat or drink anything because I don’t want to use the restroom In fact. It’s so itchy and painful when I walk lay down or even sit. Any advice?  

I  am 21 and 7 days into my first outbreak. I was tested in January and came back negative, since i've 2 sexual partners the first i noticed red swelling and itching but i just thought my vagina was irritated from rough sex. (Sorry if the is TMI or long). 3 months later i had a new partner and 2 days after our first time having sex i began my outbreak, which was also the day of my period. It was 2 small bumps that's have turned into about 12-15 inside/outside my vagina and near my butthole. When the pain progressively got worse i set an appt with my obgyn & they said to wait til my period was almost off (mind you im already 3/4 days in). But i agreed then 2 days later im at work in the most pain of my life, i suddenly become dizzy and my vision went out! So i went to urgent care where the dr diagnosed me in 30 seconds. He prescribed valacyclovir and doxycycline both for 10 days. Im 2 days in on the meds, i try to hold my urine all day because when i pee i cry. I also squat in the shower and run cold water while i do, it helps sometimes. Sitting, standing, walking and even laying down are unbearable. Sometimes i just cry all day. My mom is very supportive but i'm having a really difficult time seeing a future in life living like this, especially if the first year is gonna be the worst. Im trying to think positive and keep in mind that with a healthy lifestyle and suppressor pills i can maybe have almost NO more outbreaks because idk if i can take anymore. I use vaseline on a panty liner to try and help with the pain of ripping my panties away. If almost feels like a wax! Im going to try the numbing spray and just ask my dr if they have any numbing creams or some heavy duty pain meds. Today i woke up at 2 am drenched in sweat with tears running down my face because the pain meds wore off. I hope i heal soon and if you have any suggestions for the pain please let me know. thanks for reading
