HELP - WORRIED IT'S HERPES

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hello guys, I'm sorry but I am in a bit of a panic here. Earlier this year, I had my first ever genital herpes outbreak. I had covid-19 and my immune system hit rock-bottom. My doctor told me not too worry too much about it because it could be the first and last or then it could happen but not too frequently and not as intense as this one.

I am currently taking antibiotic for tonsil it's and earlier this morning I started feeling some very light itching in my vagina, it since then seems to have gotten much better and now looks as its beginning to make a wound?

I've been with some heavy white discharge however I get these sometimes and my period is arriving next week which could also cause this.

However, I'm really worried it's a bad reaction to my immune system from the antibiotic I am currently taking and it is indeed starting a herpes outbreak! 😬

I've attached some graphic photos, please let me know your opinions!

    Because of a low immune system you are vulnerable to diseases and to herpes outbreaks. Because of some of those diseases you have to take antibiotics, to help you coping with the diseases. I noticed the outbreak might take a while to manifest. So it might seem the antibiotics caused it, but it is the lower immune system. Do not stop taking the antibiotics for this!
