cut myself shaving on mons pubis, bled profusely, & resulted in a sore. do herpes sores bleed? no blister, sore was only "open" for a night, tweezed a few hairs out of it it, now it is dry and pink and looks almost like razor burn, just bigger.

Question

I shaved before having sex and what I thought was razor burn, is now blistering. It doesn't itch at all, but new blisters keep forming. Herpes?

Answer 1

Shaving injury: What you are describing sounds like a shaving injury. A herpes lesion usually does not bleed. If you felt yourself cutting the skin with the razor then this is the most likely explanation. If you are concerned see and Obgyn for an examination

Answer 2

See your doctor: There are many changes in the breasts during pregnancy. Breast tenderness is very common. However, if you have a new breast mass, i would see your doctor within a week. Be careful not to check the lump too often before you see your doctor as breast/nipple stimulation in pregnancy can cause contractions.

Answer 3

Yes and no: Any lump in the breast whether being pregnant or not is a matter of concern until it is confirmed that it is benign. I would suggest that you definitely have it checked. Majority of lumps are benign (non cancerous), but breast cancer needs to be ruled out. Don't wait until the end of your pregnancy to have it checked. Do it now!

Answer 4

Placenta accreta: It sounds like placenta accreta. Women who have had a c/s or other previous uterine surgery are at increased risk for the placenta growing into the uterine muscle layer if it implants over the scar. Most women don't get bleeding from this during pregnancy. The main risks of an accreta are heavy bleeding at the time of delivery of the placenta or inability to deliver it, requiring a hysterectomy.

Answer 5

Many possibilities: Bleeding is not usually a complication of placenta accreta (as stated in a previous answer), so you have to consider other causes of bleeding at 28 weeks. Anything from a vaginal infection, to cervical weakness (incompetence), to preterm labor are all possibilities, among others. You need to be evaluated by your OB to determine the cause of the bleeding.

Answer 6

Yes: It is ok to bathe your baby, even with tender spots or a rash. However if your baby seems really uncomfortable you may want to make an appointment with your pediatrician. Remember babies do not need a bath every day- this could dry out their skin and make it prone to peeling or increased tenderness. Instead, bathe every 2-4 days.

Answer 7

Yes: Keeping the skin clean is especially important if the skin is irritated and cracked because germs can enter broken skin. Use a mild cleanser and rinse well, since soaps can irritate the skin further. Cover with a mild lotion or petrolatum jelly to moisturize the skin. If not getting better, see baby's doctor!

Answer 8

Seems ok: Is DPO days post ovulation? If so, your HCG roughly doubled in 48 hours...That is a good textbook rise! a mild cramp is common, and no bleeding is always good. Seems to me you are pregnant! no indication of ectopic, no reason to think cancer (hcg producing cancers are typically seen in much younger women ie teens and 20's) and menopause doesn't give you rising hcg. So for now, congrats and luck!

Answer 9

The flu?: The symptoms indicate your body is fighting off some nasty infection. Serious and treatable infections need to be excluded. If none found, most likely it is viral flu.
