I Need Answers?!?

They say that's signs of it yes... I don't get it, or if I do I don't notice it ... so not sure I'm a good help but if it's constant then you might have some kinda yeast infection or something ... I'd see a doctor

Hello. Yes I was extremly itchy after my first out break it was so uncomfortable the relief from itching was lovely but at the same time would hurt and start itching straight after, I found getting in the shower and spraying thst om my down below helped a little, I got given some cream buy every cream I had irritatated it even more i thought i was hAving another outbreak straight after the first . I also had a bad reaction to the hydra cain numbing gel which took longer to heal. After the itching went it was still a little uncomfortable to touch but now has just started feeling better and the symptoms first started 10 weeks ago but like I said its taken longer for ms because I had a reaction to the gel. So yes they always say after you've cut yourself or got a tattoo it's really itchy because it's healing. It will pass promise xx

It is very likely related. I was also somewhat itchy, which I'm not normally. Occasional rinses (water only) over the toilet, followed by *diluted* tea tree oil (applied using a cotton pad), helped me. The former keeps you clean, while the latter is a natural antiseptic that makes you feel nice and cool down below and helps to relieve itching. After a while, the itching largely stopped by itself.

I am so glad that you asked this. I too am very itchy down there. From the other posts and what I found on the internet they say the itching is part of the healing process. But also I have read that the itch is usually at the beginning of a breakout. I have been worried that I was getting another outbreak right after the first one that I'm not completely healed from. It's been almost two weeks I was given valtrex tablets that I have to take twice a day for 10 days and have one more day on the medicine. I was given lidocaine as my gel to put on there. It helped with the soreness but don't really notice it helping with the itch. I have only slept a total of 5 hours the last two nights and have tried not to itch it because it just makes it even more sore and the relief from itching is only relief while I itch. I also feel like sometimes there is something crawling on me which is probably more a tingling feeling that I have seen described but I am so itchy. I feel your pain. Does anyone know if you can use soap to wash down there or do you have to just use water. That's what I've used for almost the two weeks but I feel gross and dirty and would love to beable to actually wash down there. Any help would be appreciated. I hope I have helped you alittle. I hear it goes away but it is really hard right now to deal with. I'm not itchy only on the private area but feel itchy on the butt as well. Also with itching they say not to because you could spread it to other areas so very scared of that happening.
