Second OB, around anus only

So i believe i am experiencing my second OB. I was diagnosed with with GHSV1 early this year, the first week of january. About 2 days ago i felt this slight sting around my anus, wasnt sure if it had something to do with not wiping right.

But i noticed by the 2nd day it got a bit worse, so i decided to look in a mirror. I have a pink spot right on my anal sphincter. I knew a re occurence was a possibility (of course i was hoping i would be that supposed 50 percent that never experiences and OB again..*sigh) but anyways its not as bad as my first OB of course. But its sooo painful because its right on my anus and having a bowel movement is extremely painful.

Anyways does anyone have any tips for easing the pain a pit for anal sorrles? Currently up at 2 am with work in the morning from the pain sad

    Mine nerve hurt except when I wiped. Guess you can use lidocaine for the pain and a nappy cream for relief.

      Lidocaine cream/ointment doesn't need a prescription, and any nappy cream is good as a soothing, protective barrier cream. I agree, go for Sudocrem if you can, but any will do provided it's zinc oxide-based.

    Sudocrem all the way, the original in the grey tub.

    It contains zinc oxide which speeds up the healing process and takes the pain out if it.

    Give it a go and let me know how you get on smile

    Good Luck

      And it's really awesome as a night cream for your face, too, despite essentially being a nappy cream! No joke. PureStubborn sold me on Sudocrem in another thread, so I bought a tub and now use it nearly everywhere, lol. (Don't double dip to avoid contamination.) So, a good cream to have on hand regardless.

      Haha, you can seriously Google the many uses of Sudocrem. Using it on your face is actually a thing, as strange as that sounds, plus of course on your nether regions.

      Haha its multi purpose so im sold. Especially if it relieves my pain! Question though, would i apply this just a few minutes before using the restroom? Or do i just apply once throughout the day?

      Lidocaine is the main pain reliever, Sudocrem (or another zinc oxide nappy cream) more for soothing and protecting. I'd probably use the Sudocrem at morning and night, and the lidocaine as required, but whatever works.
