First outbreak not going away

Posted , 4 users are following.

Hi yall, it's been 3 months since my first out break and there are still the same blisters on my groin and it has not gotten better at all. When will these red bumps go away? I actually think it is getting worse and spreading and none of the original bumps have dissapeared yet. I thought this virus is supposed to have stages and they eventually dissapear, what is going on I am worried they will never dissappear. I am not taking any medication but i am taking lysine pills because i heard it helps. What should i do

    Why aren't you taking medication or gone to the doctors? Are the painful? You need to go to the doctor immediately!

      I can't even be sure that is herpes. There is no way you have that many sires, for that long and have no pain. What makes you think they are herpes? Do you have a picture? There is just no way that is herpes and you have no itching or pain w. Blisters that last that long. So have they never ulcerated? Have you ever squeezed them?

      Listen, if this was herpes .. And hypothetically speaking it is; you don't want to go to the doctors and receive traditional medicine and I can assure you right now, nothing treats heroes better than what sorry @$$ big pharma gives us... So what magic answer yo resolve your issue, are you expecting from anyone here, who would like the same answers as you? I've been on this site 6 months and you are the only person who has posted something like this, because other people would go to the doctors. I'd need blood proof that is herpes.. There's no way you're not in pain.. That or you are just some random kid posting stuff online

      it is itchy but i dont have "excruciating" pain, im not sure how much pain im supposed to be in, but there has been pus oozing out of it so, im pretty sure its what it is. I think i am going to look online for valtrex generic and try to order it (valacylcovir) and take it 2 pills 1000mg for a week and see if it helps. I just picked up tea tree oil today and im going to use this too

      I'd be careful with the tea tree oil.  I can burn you and to be honest, I've felt no relief using it.  I would use witch hazel for the cleaning of the sores and drying out of them a few times a day. I would use hydrocortizone for the itching and also using an ice pack that is wrapped in papertowels.  

      Well, if you ever read the posts by the women, they'll tell you how it is the worst pain of their life, can't go to work, can't walk and can't even sit.  You never hear the males make that comment.  So that is what I mean by excruitiating.  

      Make sure you take as many epsom salt baths a day as well.  This will help dry it out, along with sooth inflammation.  Also make sure to use baking soda to keep your area as dry as possible and to soak up discharge from the sores, to try and minimize the spreading of the virus to other areas of skin.  

      Why have you not seen a doctor?  What makes you sure those pills on line are legit and how do you do that without a prescritpion?  The other stuff that everyone in the UK uses called Acyclovir is supposed to be stronger than valtrex and studies show that it has a higher percentage of keeping asypomatic shedding and transmission down than valtrex does.  

      What is your daily diet and activities?  I would like to see if there is something you are doing on a day to day basis that could possibly be keeping your infection active.  Are you aware of any other illnesses you may have?

      Well i just used the tea tree oil, and the itching really has gone down. It has a really strong smell though! My daily diet, well i usually eat out, either sandwiches, pizza, sushi, chicken, beef and rice, with some veggies. I usually drink 1-2 cups of coffee a day and i usually drink alcohol once a week, i smoke an electronic ciggarette, and for exercise, well i haven't really been exercizing for the last month but i plan on starting to go to the gym again within 1-2 weeks.

      By the way, I appreciate you for responding to my posts, its really helpful to know theres someone on the other end of the screen answering my questions.

      Yes, I think it helps some w the itching, but the smell is potent and if you're not careful you can burn yourself. The first time I used it, I ended up sitting in the bath for a long time, because I spilled it on my lady bits. The lil man on the boat was on fire! Lmao..

      Well, I used to smoke, but quit on chantix. You should try quitting. Last thing we need, is to suppress our immune systems further. Also, find a good probiotic that will make it past your stomach acids, so your intestines can actually absorb the good bacteria. 70% of our immune system is in our gut. I eat like sh*t cause I hate cooking, woke a lot and live alone. I keep saying this is the week I'm going to clean up my diet so I can boost my digestive track, but... Here I still am. I'll be interested to see if my change in eating, stops my symptoms.

      I'd say they to change your diet to more meats and veggies, not processed and even cutting the coffee just to see.

      So you never mentioned how you know for sure you're getting the real deal medication or why you've not seen a doctor yet?

      Oh not a problem and you're welcome. It is important to me that I'm there for others and that the correct info be put out. Nothing ircks me ore than some of the garbage I see being spread around. Glad I can be of some comfort wink

      Well i'm not sure my insurance is active right now is part of the reason why im not going to the doctors, and as to how do i know if its the real thing, well, fingers crossed? i hope it is, and its being marketed as a generic so its not the exact thing but should be close enough, and generics "USUALLY" work okay
    • Posted

      Well why don't you call your benefits line and ask? When you start a job, it is supposed to be active immediately .. I do not think that is a good idea what yiu are doing. At least go to a state/gov funded clinic for gods sake and get a free examination and meds

      i also dont want the diagnosis of it on my medical records
    • Posted

      except with every doctor for the rest of my life and every time i have to show health records? correct me if im wrong?
    • Posted

      Why would they all know? I only tell the doctor I was diagnosed by and prescribes me medicine. I don't tell my other doctors, they don't need to know. What you do at another doctors office doesn't follow yiu around to a different one. The only way they could see that, is if you signed off on releasing your records to nother docs hands. Do you think they care anyway they don't think heroes is a big deal they see patients w far worse. You must be very young w this thought process, I'm guessing?

      Yup.. That explains it. Now would you go to the doctors? You can even go to an urgent care and never tell anyone or your doc about it and nobody will ever know.
