Question 1

I read online that herpes occurs as rash. cuts. or sores then i read that herpes is just sores?..what's the truth? what doesit look like? feel like?

Accepted Answer

Herpes viruses cause a series of skin lesions. The rash starts out as small bumps then develop into blisters that are very painful. In fact, the pain can even start before the rash. The blisters then open and turn into sores that crust over. If you do not scratch or pick at them they usually heal up without scarring.

Question 2

Herpes is a group of blisters.  The blisters are usually in a small area, but rarely could be spread over a large area.  Heat rash looks like red prickly bumps covering the area that got too warm.

Question 3

Small blisters clustered on a red patch.

Question 4

I have perinium itching and small smooth rash. dr. said it didn't look like warts. it's lasted a few weeks. it's not herpes.

Accepted Answer

There are many causes of genital area rash. Most are not STDs. Some are problems that occur primarily in the genital area, and others can occur anywhere and happen to involve the genital area. Since your doctor apparently doesn't know, see a dermatologist. You can also google "genital skin rash images" for photos to compare with your rash. A "smooth" patch might be lichen planus.

Accepted Answer

A diagnosis will be needed before suspicion settles in. Above description is not enough and it sounds atypical for herpes. There are many other infectious or non infectious conditions that may explain your findings. Would suggest connecting with your Gyn doc for an exam and further recommendations.

Accepted Answer

It will because it's inflammatory. This makes the skin pink and red.

Question 10

Hello doctors, can water be applied to rashes of herpes zoster for washing?

Accepted Answer

The temperature is the key. Your skin will react to water if the temperature is too cold or too hot, which could lead to more pain and obvious discomfort. Room temperature water can help ease the painful, uncomfortable skin of shingles. Make sure to wash your towels after the use. Be well.
