First Genital Herpes; This sucks.

Posted , 2 users are following.

I went into my local urgent care (US based) and for 2 visits, they explained I had Bacterial Folliculitis. this began 1 week ago today and went in on the weekend (sunday and monday). I first noticed symptoms on a Thursday night. They swabbed me on Sunday and I've yet to receive my results. However, the sores/bumps have progressively gotten worse and more aggressive so I told myself I have it and have come to the conclusion to accept my new life. They prescribed me bacterial medication and it hasnt done a thing. Im in my first OB. I feel like s**t (loss of appetite, feeling run down, tired and some flu-like symptoms. I need to be put on anti-virals but the test results are now 4 days on waiting after being told id have the results in as little as 72-hours.

how do i stop the painful peeing sensation? The tip of my business burns to urinate. How do i get pass the loss of appetite? Im hungry, just when i eat.. i dont eat a lot or feel sick from eating. How do i calm down my outbreaks (theyre not painful, just continue to multiply it seems at this point.) Also, my groin lymph nodes are tender and sore also. Thanks!

    To stop the burning sensation try covering the sores with vaseline or peeing in the tub with water. You can even use a water bottle to spray kn your privates the same time youre peeing. Do not pick at the outbreaks it will spread them try to keep them covered and dont mess with them
