Constitutional symptoms: headache, fever, loss of appetite, fatigue, feeling sick, shortly follow early phase.

Question 2

i've got a rash on my forehead between my eyes and on my nose. is that a typical symptom of herpes simplex?

Accepted Answer

No: The most common condition affecting these areas in the way you describe is rosacea.  You could also have shingles (zoster) .  Check with your ophthalmologist to rule out or treat these conditions.  H simplex usually causes a very localized wet blistery lesion on the skin rather than a rash.

Question 3

after taking my shower i wiped to dry my vagina and forgot to wash my hands i have genital herpes but not sure if symptoms rn. then i blew my nose and washed my hands. is it possible that the virus is on my nose/face so i have to not kiss my newborn?

Accepted Answer

: It is very unlikely for you to transmit the virus to your infant in a way you described.  If you happen to develop blistery lesion on your lip, you should avoid kissing newborn.

Question 4

does herpes cause a constant slight burn in your back,groin and legs?  symptoms for last year since random sexual encounter. could it be in my head???

Accepted Answer

Not herpes: Herpes does not cause such symptoms. There are many non-professional websites where people claim symptoms like this are due to herpes; pay no attention to them. "Could it be in [your] head?" No distant forum expert can say; you're the best judge. But such symptoms often have a psychological origin; and whenever someone suspects his or her own symptoms are psychological, usually s/he is right.

Question 5

i'm nervous i have herpes, or multiple stds. symptoms: pain in head of penis, leg tingling, small red bump on penis.

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: The only way to know for sure is to be examined and tested for STDs. You should do this as soon as possible and refrain from intercourse until you know for sure and any infections have been treated. Good luck.

Accepted Answer

: Without exam and test hard to tell. Till you get results keed area clean and cover with OTC cortisone cream and band aid. Hope you get better

Question 7

could i have herpes in my nose?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: You can have herpes anywhere, but mucous membranes (mouth, nose, genitalia, etc.) are prime locations. On the other hand, the presence of a sore on (or in) your nose does not necessarily mean you have herpes. You'll need to see a doctor or your local public health clinic to find out if it's herpes - or if it's not, what it actually is.

Question 8

how do you get herpes up your nose?

Accepted Answer

Transmission: Herpes is a viral infection and if the virus is present on the nasal lining from direct or indirect transmission, this can occur. Best to see your otolaryngologis tfor evaluation and treatment.

Question 9

my bf has herpes, i went down on him several times and started gettin sores in my nose, thoyght it was something elsr, its not. its herpes, now what?

Accepted Answer

Herpes: If you have been diagnosed with herpes then there is a good chance you will get recurrent lesions. There are antiviral medications that you can take to suppress the number of episodes.

Question 10

is it possible to have a herpes outbreak in your nose?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: You can get a herpes outbreak anywhere.  Mucus membranes like the mouth, genital regions, nose are more sensitive.  So yes, if you're getting painful blisters in or around your nose - get it checked out.  Early in an outbreak, antiviral medications can help!
