Help, what are these blisters? Unable to consult to doctors due to covid.

Posted , 2 users are following.

I have these blister in my genital for almost two months now that started from one that I popped and eventually multiplied after shaving.

I initially thought that it was herpes and took acyclovir and applied cream for 10 days but nothing happened.

Been applying ACV for one week and I can see some of the blisters dried up but small new bumps occur.

Has anyone experienced same symtoms?

      Thanks for the reply.

      How long does a herpes last?

      From the photo, does it resemble to a herpes or MC?

      going to a doctor is unlikely right now due to covid.

      Hi Kim,

      These are fresh ones. They look like pimples and are transparent. These are parts that I dont apply ACV.

      Hope to know more about it.

    Hi red,

    As kim says, it's unlikely to be herpes because the meds you've been taking would have cleared it. It's much more likely to be folliculitis from shaving. I suggest you wash the area with medicated soap and after drying your skin, apply a thin layer of antiseptic cream like Savlon or Dettol to clear any residual bacterial infection.

    Change you shaver frequently.

      Hi Adhari,

      What a relief knowing it's possibly not herpes. I will definitely use disposable shaver from now on and purchase antiseptic cream.

      Thank you.
