Question 1

i believe i have genital herpes from on,one searches but they don't look like the pictures, so i am thinking it maybe acne but i have herpes symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Get tested: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you. You should see your doctor and get tested. 
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex, if you have sex. 
Get HPV vaccine, if you are under 27 years of age.

Question 2

i talked to you the other day about genital herpes. my penis has been irritated near the tip for the last 3 weeks.  i have a picture of what looks lik?

Accepted Answer

I suggest a consult: with a physician in your state online or at an urgent care center: if you have had unprotected intercourse you must be checked for STD.

Question 3

noticed a bump on the shaft of my penis and was wondering if i had genital herpes. no pain, itching or tenderness but looks like hsv. i have pictures.

Accepted Answer

Sebaceous cyst: What you described is more likely to be a sebaceous cyst. Do not try to pop it. If it persists and is an issue for you, you may see a doctor to have it removed.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 4

i was recently (3 weeks) diagnose with a mild case of genital herpes. i am an athlete and just started training again. i feel very weak. ?

Accepted Answer

Could be.: Sometimes viral infections can really rev up your immune system and make you feel like that.  If you have actual weakness in your muscles rather than "feeling weak" you need to see your doc.

Question 5

if my first outbreak of genital herpes was very mild, that means that the recurrence are going to be mild or i will not have recurrence at all?

Accepted Answer

Typically : Typically the first outbreak of herpes is the worst, and subsequent outbreaks are lesser intensity or painless shedding of virus.  A person might, as you say, never have an outbreak again.  I see women who don't even know they have herpes because they've never had an outbreak.  Safe sex practices are the best to make sure that you don't spread herpes.  If you do have an outbreak, take acyclovir.

Question 6

can you tell me what are symptoms of mild genital herpes?

Accepted Answer

Herpes simplex: Herpes simplex in the genital area may cause no symptoms in some people. In others, a few weeks after being exposed to herpes a person may develop fever, muscle aches ; pains, headache ; swelling of groin lymph nodes. The lesions may be preceded several days by itching ;/or pain. They start as red bumps which then develop into blisters. When the blisters break open they ooze fluid or bleed.

Question 7

are there any such consistent symptoms for "mild" genital herpes, how can i tell?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Herpes simplex blisters can range anywhere on the pain spectrum from being a little irritating to being extremely sensitive and painful.  Sometimes you may not notice any discomfort or the rash may just itch.

Question 8

can genital herpes cause cervicitis? i have a breakout but its not near my vaginal area. its on buttocks. ive had mild spotting but it stopped. thank you! i just started a antiviral med. this is my third breakout. thank you

Accepted Answer

Herpetic cervicitis?: Yes, genital herpes can cause cervicitis. However, cervicitis of other and unknown causes also are common. You need testing for other STDs if not yet done, especially gonorrhea and chlamydia. Also, make sure your buttock sores or lesions are herpes. Buttock outbreaks occur but uncommon; most recurrent genital herpes is in the genital area (vaginal, labia, etc). Check with Dr. if uncertain.

Question 9

is it common to have mild genital herpes outbreaks every month of the year? 15 months in i haven't returned a positive test but i have all the symptoms - the initial horrible 'outbreak', prodrome, occurs around menstruation small sores screened stds?

Accepted Answer

: Please see your Gyn and consider being on daily treatment for it for a prolonged period. Good luck

Question 10

could genital herpes be painless?

Accepted Answer

Herpes Simplex: It is reported that genital herpetic blisters can be painless or mildly painful in other people. But many can attest to pain with Herpetic lesions.
