Hi everyone,
A few months ago (a few months after I was diagnosed) I had an itchy bump on my thumb right at the crease. I thought it was a bug bite so I kind of just scratched it and ignore it. A few days later, it burst, tiny scab and then went away. Didn't think anything of it afterwords. Then yesterday, I realized the same bump is back on my thumb at the exact same space and it had the same kind itch and it's irritating. I did some googling and it said it could be related to HSV2 and coming into contact with the party downstairs and it's called herpetic whitlow. Has anyone experienced this?? What do I do? I wear contacts and now I'm scared of taking them out so I feel like I'm going to be wearing this pair for forever.
Help! 😞
