I have had herpes for 34 years and got diagnosed with LS 5 years ago- both are flared now due to stress, heat and too much chocolate- any one else have this dual issue?

    Hi I had herpes diagnosed back in the late 70s early 80s so similar to you Liz. I now have recently been diagnosed with LS. Having struggled with unwarranted stigma attached to the herpes diagnosis I now find this latest addition to painful embarrassing conditions embarrassing illnesses a bit much. I have a possible connection with my LS I had cancer last year and reading up tumours can provoke sclerodoma which has similarities to LS. Im a young 65. Any support or suggestion greatly received. Going for a swim in the sea in the hope this might help.
