October 4th I was diagnosed with herpes

Im sorry you have to go through this it was very traumatic for me too.. what you could do is take a warm Epson salt bath and soak for about 20 min... I also use to use backing soda and water mixed into a paste and put it on, however with that you would want to rinse it off with warm water cuz it will hurt to wipe it off... I also tried using witch hazel.... now I put rubbing alcohol on it it hurts so bad at first but it helps dry them out and it helps heal faster however your first ob can last up to two weeks.... your doctor can give you antivirals too... hope this is helpful. ..

I'm sorry dear, I was recently diagnosed too, I'm 22, it sure was traumatic. It's still hard to believe, it's only been since September 20th. I was in lots of pain too. I recommend changing your diet and living a very healthy lifestyle to prevent new break outs. Take vitamins! And try natural supplements if you aren't taking prescr. stuff. I used cats claw and that helped speed my recovery. Also try reishi. You can find these in pill form at a health food store. Increase your vitamin c intake. Do your research love, you will see all the natural antiviral things you can take and as I said become very healthy. I personally had lesions in my vagina, so didn't suffer from too many blisters on the outside area, i did have a few though and you should try popping them so they heal faster. Use a wash cloth, and just rubbing against them hard as fast as you can, I know it's extremely painful but you are tough girl, it will be over soon! Do this in the shower, easier and cleaner that way. Don't use that wash cloth any where else on the body just to scrub away blisters. And then just use a little bit of soap and rub just for the antibacterial. I also suggest not drying vagina with towel during this time since it hurts, use a blow dryer, it really works!!! TRyan to just relax and lay there, but be productive if it's not that painful. Try not to miss work or stop living your life, it will get better and when the blisters go away and you're healed, you will almost for get you have this. I know it hard, I'm still confused and slightly depressed but things are better now that my first outbreak is over! Just stay healthy and try not to stress about this, it is what it is, and remember stressing makes break outs worse ! Good luck dear (also some people use ointment to help with painfull blisters)

So young .

I was young also when I got it .

You will live and you learn .

This doesn't make you any less of a person .

How are you feeling .

Does your parents know ?

Do you know who you managed to get it from ? I was 20 when I got it , I'm now 21 , got diagnosed with it December of 2015 . Been a long run down challenge some days are good some days are bad. Forgiveness is a big thing I've had to learn to deal with when I got this virus .

Don't ever let anyone make you seem like you are less then them .

The same people that can talk about it just might have it and not know ..

Behind every storm there is a rainbow .
