Genital Herpes but sores on my back and arm and belly!!!!!!
Posted , 9 users are following.
Yes I started having these sores on my back and later attcks on my belly and arm (not as bad as the back) and swab test on back sore indicated HSV2 but what I don't understand (and the doctors were puzzled too) as we all expected genital sores. Has anyone with HSV2 in this forum have had a similar experience (sores in areas other then genital). In a way I should be happy since genital sores would be much more painful but I am just curious.
Good news is that anti-viral meds can suppress the reoccurances and apparently after 2 years the frequency and severity of attacks will be reduced too a lot. There is also another drug on horizen which is likely much more effective (pritelivin) if this FDA stop meddling (they suspended trial in 2013 as dozes 20 times the average showed toxic in monkeys......).

I too get weird red bumps on my bumm and lower back and sometimes on my upper leg/hamstring area. I have never had a swab, but I have been looked at by two dermatologist and an NP at Planned Parenthood. All of whom tell me this is not H. I find this hard to believe because these bumps only appeared after I had dated someone with H. Can you post any pictures? Thank you.

It could be because i didn't catch the virus from sex (I am very careful always protected sex) but maybe just from skin to skin contact (out of bad luck) with an opposite sex sometimes that I have sore where I do and not my genitals. This is the only explanationI can think of. I also read the virus always attack the weakest parts of the body (that is why always the previously attacks areas is attacked in reoccurances......).
We have made advances in cancer treatments, shingles, HIV, heart disease which is great but it is now time to come up with an effective medication to cure herpes since a large portion of population is suffering and there is a big market for it. So lets hope pritelivir will be available soon (still not a cure but more effective) and we soon find a vaccine and cure for herpes.

Never said it's impossible, only that it's very unusual and far from common. Did you ever check out the possibility of eczema herpeticum? That's still herpes, but a widespread form, usually involving HSV1, however. History of dermatitis usually involved.

Hello Tom:
Your case appears to be very similar to mine when I got first outbreak in April 2015. It was a big flare up on my chin and doctors put me on antibiotics as they thought too it was impetigo. Fortunately in my case later attacks were in my back, arm and palm of left hand not face. A year later it was tested (swab test of back sore) as HSV2. Damn this virus and the medical scientists have not done a good job to destroy this damn virus as they have so with HIV or other viruses. It is Oral HSV2 which is transmitted by oral sex (I found out this after doing years of research as few doctors know about this).
Take valtrex if the attacks are frequent and on face. Also olive leaf extract and red pepper extract and vinegar supplements may help too. Taking those supplements I have an attack (on my palm or arm) once every six months now and milder and I take valtrex right away to make it go away fast. Maybe you need to take same approach. Good luck.

Well 6 years into it, I might have been cured from Herpes using combination pills from a new unknown company in Melbourne Australia (Synergy). My HPV went away after 3 months of therapy and no herpes outbreaks in over a year.
