Is this herpes?
Question: I get tiny pimples in between my little hairs sometimes. always like three. They itch until I squeeze them,in which the clear liquid comes out. I put peroxide, they scab up and go away. Is this herpes? Please help. :( Answer: it might be.... Only a culture would tell you for sure... It kinda sounds like it. next time you get them, don't pop them... see a dr. if you want to know for sure.... Answer: i have an appointment tomorrow. just a little scared. this has been happening for like three years though. Answer: Hey Pam - that's how mine started (sorry) I just thought it was pimples, in fact a doc told me it was just a pimple - Definately get them cultured - and don't touch - they can't culture after they scab over. Answer: never had any other symptoms. nothing swollen no headaches or flu like symptoms. do u think there is a chance it might not be herpes. Answer: Yes - could be ingrown hairs too, but if it's reoccurring in the same spot - and multiple sores - no hairs - HSV is a definate possibility. It sounds mild though, which is good news, if that kind of news is good - get the culture. Answer: how long does it take for herpes to fully develop like those pics? Answer: mine are in between hairs. I'm very scared. Answer: Pam, if it is HSV - it won't get as bad as those pics, in fact alot of those pics are worst case photos. In fact, if you don't touch, and are careful here on out - it will probably get better. I know you're scared, I remember - are the blisters present now? the doc needs to test the fluid in them to know for sure. Copyright © 2007 - 2008 www.thanktoday.com
