Newly diagnose bad outbreak herpes
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have been reading all the posts. Just got diagnosed with herpes in the anal area. I am in EXCRUTIATING pain. No joke this is terrible. I have been taking valtrex since yesterday and am taking soothing bath with epsom salt. Tried Aloe vera, lidocaine, zincofax. But the sores are oozing so much. They never seem to dry up. I am so swollen also. Did not go to work the last 2 days and have so much difficulty going to the washroom. It burns terribly from inside out I just feel like it will never heal, I am so depressed!

Well ! I went to 2 doctors, they look at it one sec and said it was. I did a swab and am awaiting the results. How are you doing? Hope you are not having too much pain like me. But really I know it is scary.

Oh hun, I'm sorry!
I had the exact issue with my first outbreak.
Id like to start by saying they're never ever this bad again, if you even get another!
The meds will start providing relief within a couple of days.
In the meantime, when peeing, get a squirt bottle, or regular bottle and put luke warm water, pour it as you pee, or, as gross as it sounds, in the bath.
this wont help if it's an internal urethral pain, but it will help keep it from hurting when it contacts the sores.
Baths, baths, baths!
I would take some lavender essential oil and mix it with my Epsom salt, lavender has healing properties as well.
Ice was also a saver for me! you can take a cube and rub it directly in a circular motion, which i find a little too much, so id put it in a bag, with a light, damn cloth over (to avoid it sticking to the sores). it provides some relief.
Whenever i could, i was butt ass naked and showing my hooha to a fan.
It wasnt the best relief but did provide some because nothing was touching and there was some cool air.
The lidocaine was my best friend when i had to sleep. It doesnt stop everything but was huge when i couldnt relieve it any other way.
This doesnt last forever. I was diagnosed in May, and already now an outbreak is just as inconvenient as a yeast infection!
it gets easier.
if you ever want someone to talk to, feel free to private message me!!
