I am having a herpes breakout

Posted , 5 users are following.

I’m 14 and I’m sexually active. Me and my bf have been togther for almost a month. We had sex the first time we started dating (we where friends before.) which was 1-23-18. He told me he had herpes and I told him i didn’t care because he didn’t have any bumps or cold sores. Then I knew I had herpes.I can’t go to the doctor for meds because I can’t tell my mom because she don’t want me having sex and me telling her that i just got herpes will make her want to kill me and she will split me and my bf up. I’m hurting so bad and I can’t even pee. I have open bumps on one side in my lady parts and they are very very very painful to touch. I took a shower and I can’t even get water in my girl area because it stings so bad that I scream!!! Someone please help.😭😭

    Find the closest Planned Parenthood, go to their website, and book your appointment online. I’m almost positive you can be tested without your parents approval, but you will need a prescription and that goes through your insurance. At least go there and ask what your options are.

      I can’t book appointments without my mom. I’m 14. Just struggling to find medication .

    Im sorry that you’re  going through what might be your first outbreak. You can still contract the herpes virus even if your partner is not showing physical signs and possibility is definitely there  if you’re having unprotected sex.  But I would try and seek professional help in regards to getting some testing done. Like Ghyiop said maybe try going to planned parenthood and speaking to them regarding your options and explained your situation.  But I believe ultimately you will have to say something to your mom. It’s scary to be dealing with an STD and as much as you’re fearing your mother I think it’s important to know what you’re actually dealing with and be giving ways with how to deal with it. If you do end up showing up as positive for herpes then you’ll need a prescription to help with the symptoms. I would suggest possibly going the natural route but that could be expensive. But regardless it’s better to get tested and know what you have. I’m sorry I couldn’t give advice that went around your mother specially since i know how scary it is to let your parent know you’ve been  sexually active. But I would hope that your mom would be more worried about your health rather than punishing you. After this whole ordeal I would advice for you to do research on STDs on how they’re transmitted and how you can protect yourself and your partners.

      Thank you.. I think i’m going to let it heal on is own. I think it’s doing better today rather than yesterday I can actually get up and smoke a ciggerate to help with all this stress. It is my first outbreak and It is very painful. I might take a shower but the pain is terrible.

    If you actually have herpes i would advise against smoking. Smoking is something that would put stress on the body which could make the outbreaks more likely to happen or make the symptoms worse. If you want to wait for things and let them heal on their own which I completely advised against that’s up to you. I personally think you should know what you’re dealing with and given the medications that you’ll need to help treating whatever it is that you may have. I wish you the best of luck. They say your first outbreak is the worst. So hopefully it will be tolerable for you after that.

    Hi Girl

    I know it is going to be very difficult for you to tell your mom.  But she is the only one that can take you to the doctor to get antivirals so that you can feel better.  Right now, I know you may feel that your boyfriend is very important and you do not want your mom to split you both up.  But at this moment, the only thing important is that you get some medication so that you can feel better.  Tell your mom, as hard as it may be, please tell her.  You shouldn't be going though this alone.
