Wow, have never heard of Sea lice, makes me not want to get in any ocean when I travel. Glad you are on the mend DeMar. What ocean or place were you in when you got Sea Lice?

Hello again 🙂 So I have started using the Acyclovir cream, how long does it take to work and will it get rid of sores? I still see and feel them and I am using the cream twice a day, usually before bed and in the am when I wake up. Can I also use the Valtrex pills while using the cream? Hoping one or both will work 😞 As for my inner thighs, they are still itching like crazy and I can feel the bumps when I sit on the toilet and whatever it is has caused my skin to be very dry so my PCP said I needed to see a Dermatologist for this issue so I am going to see one for the 1st time on tuesday afternoon hoping to get some answers and relief and to find out what this is since I don't think its yeast. I am wondering if maybe its a reaction from either the cream or the Diflucan pills since I am allergic to several meds already? It just seems strange, and I do believe what I had in my pubic hair was folliculitis and all of that is gone except for 1 spot with a hair in it and then another spot that is kind of raw that is on my Hysterectomy scar. I have been putting alcohol and neosporin on both and sometimes cream. At any rate Im over the itching and creepy looking skin and hope I get some answers on tues.

Hello, So its me again 😞 So I am still having itching on my Inner thighs but its not everyday but still there and I think the bumps from pictures I have looked at is folliculitis like you mentioned 😞 If its not one thing its another! So does folliculitis come from yeast infections? I only have a few left and I am putting alcohol on them and the Antifungal cream. Never heard of these and def never had them, I just want to get back to normal. I have started using the Acyclovir cream but im sure it takes awhile for it to work.

Thanks 🙂 No I haven't shaved the pubic area but its hard to tell about the bumps, I don't believe they have a head or any fluid in them and I have not heard of folliculitis, what causes that just out of the blue? Its a regular pharmacy but they also specialize in what is called Compounding ointments/creams that insurance does not pay for so you pay out of pocket but its always cheaper then what insurance would charge you. You would have to google to find a pharmacy in your area that does it or ask your dr cause they normally know some. I have already been using hydrocortisone 2.5% prescription and over the counter creams that just don't seem to be working and I can get some compounded that will actually heal my fissures so its worth a try. Im so glad I feel so much better as I have been miserable the last few weeks.

Hello, So I am finally feeling a lot better, Anal yeast infection is gone but still having a little bit of itching in groin area and inner thighs and had noticed these tiny red bumps in my pubic hair area but have no idea if they are GHSV or what they are? I have been putting alcohol on them daily to help get rid of them. I have been able to sleep the last 3 nights 🙂 and I picked up my Acyclovir Cream today that was made & compounded at a special pharmacy near me so I will start using it tonight. My Anal Fissures have been really painful and burning since all this started so I wonder if the Acyclovir cream will also help with those as there are some bumps in that area as well. This is my 1st time using this cream so I hope it works well. Thanks

Hey 89Star, Thanks for the reply 🙂 For the last 2 weeks I have been dealing with a severe Anal yeast infection that is now gone but still in the vag area and I am thinking I must have some GHPV sores near/in my Anal area because my HRoids are still on fire and burn so bad I can hardly sit 😞 I am in so much pain I hate to poop anymore. My Dr called in the Cream but even with Ins it is $92.00 for a very small amount but I am trying to get another pharmacy that does compounds make it for a much cheaper price but still waiting for them to call me back. I was taking the Vatrex pills for a week but it didn't seem like they were doing any good, I have another Dr appt tomorrow so she can make sure the Yeast infection is going away so i'll ask her more about the valtrex. So do you recommend Wisp site? I read a lot of bad reviews for them? I purchased the l-Lysine from Pure Encapsulations and received it today, do you think it works? I read that if you stop taking it that the sores come back worse? Hope that is not true. I'll take a look at Femiclear if you think it works well? I just know I can't stand this pain much longer 😞 Thanks, same to you 🙂

Yes I try to use GoodRx whenever I am able to for some meds but for this cream it doesn't help as it is very expensive 😞

Hi 🙂 Yeah even with insurance buying the cream is so expensive 😞 they need to make it affordable to people who need it, as far as Wisp, ive seen certain posts on here that mention it and ive read some of the reviews, good and bad so I am not sure if I would trust them as people seem to have issues with the billing practices Wisp has which is a flag for me, id love to try just to get the medicine. The red spots are already on my inner thighs and I feel sores close to my anus but near the edge of my vagina that seem to really itch. I seem to have really severe itching the wee hours of the am and then early morning and its so bad I run hot water as hot as I can stand and wet a washcloth rung out and try to itch using it, Im just so tired of all this and can't handle the itching and the burning and nothing seems to help. I am taking 2 - 650 mg Tylenol and 2 - Benadryl everyday to just get some relief. Desitin seems to help a little. I am just over all this 😞 Ill try to find some Lysine, I can't use anything with Lidicane in it because it causes my blood pressure to go up.

89Star can you tell me what brand of Lysine you are taking? I am trying to find a good brand, I did find one on Pure Encapsulations site but haven't bought it yet. I already take Vit D, Vit C, B12 and a Probiotic but I have to be careful what I take because I am a heart patient. I was also wondering about that site Wisp? The cream is too expensiive even with insurance so I assume that is a legite site? How do they determine how much they charge a person? I already take Valtrex pills but not sure if it works or not as I am not sure how it works. Thanks

Hi, SO my Dr called in the cream (Valtrex) but its too expensive to buy it even with insurance 😞 Ive seen people on here mention Wisp website where you can purchase it, do you know if it is legite? I forgot to take my Valtrex pill yesterday and just took it tonight, Im seeing red spots on my inner thighs so does that mean they are healing? I don't know how much more of this itching I can handle, I woke up in the wee hours this am with it itching and burning again and I used a hot compress on it to help soothe it then today I used Desitin all over the are and that took most of the itch away until I got out of the shower tonight so im going to keep using that. I also went to costco today and got the big bottle of Vit C you mentioned, should I be taking 500 or 100 mg a day? I don't know how people handle this everyday 😞 it really sucks

Hi again, SO I woke up early in the am with severe itching in the anal area again and I called the dr and let her know that the yeast infection seems to be getting better but the itching and burning are still an issue so I asked if they could call me in the ointment/cream for the GHSV-2 so glad I have that I can start using soon and hope it helps with the sores. This itching is too much OMG along with some burning still. I hope this goes away soon as it is very uncomfortable, Im going to take 2 Benadryl tonight lol since I haven't taken any pain meds or allergy type meds today at all so I was hoping is was ending soon 🤒

Hello, Thanks for the reply, I have never had any issues with HPV that i am aware of, just the GHPV-2 and my HRoids. I am doing a lot better tonight and yeast is almost gone but I am still having burning from sores and the Valtrex doesn't seem to be helping at least in my opinion. I am going to ask the Dr to call me in the Valtrex ointment or call a pharmacy that does its own compounds and see if that help. I am looking for a good source to get the L-Lysine and Vit C from, like the Pure encapsulation site had great stuff.

This is great info, thanks for sharing. Do you use the Chewable Vit C or another type and what Mil/IU should it be and is there a specific brand? Has anyone ever tried using Manuka Honey on there sores? I read that it is good to use but its so pricey.

SO I went to my Dr and found out I had a severe yeast infection on my butt ,between crack and that was part of the pain as well as my H-Roids being flared up and having GHPV-2 all at the same time.😵 I have never had any sort of yeast infection in my life and I am 54 and omg how painful all of this is to have at the same time. Dr gave me some meds to get rid of yeast infection, Clotrimazole & Betamethasone Dipropionate topical ointment as well as 2 doses of Fluconazole to take. I've also been taking Benadryl twice a day and 2- 650 mg Tylenol once or twice a day as needed for pain. The yeast infection is almost gone and H-Roids feel better but I am still burning/stinging pretty bad from the GHPV-2 as I still have some sores which seem to be on the outside and at the base of vagina close to Anal area, and using the RR makes it worse. This is the most uncomfortable thing to have and its so hard to deal with. The Valtrex doesn't seem to help with anything? I read on here about L-Lysine and wondered if that helps at all? I mentioned it to my Dr and she said its good to use, thoughts on that if anyone has used it here? Where I live Medicinal marijuana is not legalized yet 🥺 Is there anything that will get rid of the sores and help the burning/stinging pain that works 100%, L-Lysine or anything else? I have read Vit C may be good to take daily, I am a heart patient and I can't take Ibuprofen on a daily basis and I have to be careful of what I take. Thanks for the replies!🥰

Hello, I am new to this community and this is my 1st post, so I was diagnosed about 6 years ago with HSV 1,2 as well as HPV and I was so shocked to find out I had these because I have been married 26 years but my previous hubby was a cheater and so I am guessing this came from him. Needless to say I am so ashamed and embarrassed to have these even though the Dr said a lot of people have it, more so than not 😒 I also have severe Hemmoroids so when I get an outbreak of H the pain is unbearable because it makes my Anus and Roids burn and nothing helps the pain, I am having an outbreak now and I can hardly sit down the pain is so bad, I am on Valtrex (valacyclovir) 1 GM Tab (Horse Pills) but I can't see that its helping any. Is there anything I can use to help with the pain? I am on prescription Hydrocortisone 2.5 to use when I have flair ups but again it doesn't do much for this pain and burning. Ibuprofen seems to help some but I can't take it everyday because I am a heart patient so I have to use Tylenol. I just want this pain to go away, I just can't handle it anymore. Has anyone else had this severe of pain like I have? Thanks
