I've had GHSV1 for about three months and I'm on daily suppressives. Is it normal for me to have tingling on the back of my legs and buttocks? This is usually at night after I've showered.

    Since it's mostly at night and after showering, it's most likely unrelated. I don't think herpes really cares about the time of day or anything else! Also, gHSV1 is less likely to cause issues.

      Ok thanks so much, I also have a pimple on my face and a little blister like bump on one of my fingers. If my tongue gets sore I think it's herpes! So paranoid. My partner has it in his mouth and no we haven't abstained from contact since I got it. I think he knew there was a possibility that he had it. But I have fallen so madly in love with this man. I just let it roll off my back. Thanks for your help, I can always depend on your response. ?

      Happy to help! smile Just remember, if you experienced something *before* herpes (e.g., pimple on face/butt, canker sore, whatever else), then just because it happens again *after* herpes doesn't necessarily mean that it's *because* of herpes, if you know what I mean. That's a good way to stay sane, keep things in perspective and avoid getting overly paranoid. I remind myself to assess things that way and now I don't stress too much about things, unless it's definitely out of the ordinary.
