Yeah I definitely should have checked! Haha. Well at least now I'll have some on hand for summer time. I've been applying witch hazel to the blisters to try to get them to dry up faster and I think it's somewhat helping. My biggest problem is the blisters that are inside. They seem harder to get rid of. Guess I'll just keep taking my medicine and with time they'll go away on their own. They're just a bit frustrating!

I'll have to try the Aloe cream. I bought the gel and putting that down there was definitely one of the worst mistakes EVER. Thought I was going to pass out from the burning sensation. Just started taking Lysine today. Hope that plus the meds I'm on starts slowing it down and makes it go away.

Thanks guys! I'm definitely going to be looking into picking up some tea tree oil tomorrow if I can ever manage to get myself out of bed! Haha. @HerryTheHerp I've been reading your posts on here and they're definitely making me feel much better. You're quite the character. (:

Yup. You guessed it. I've been diagnosed with HSV-1 down there instead of on my face. And trust me I would much rather have it on my face. This has been the absolute worst and most painful thing I have ever experienced! I can't believe I was so stupid to let this happen to me. I knew he had a cold sore in his mouth I just didn't know it was contagious like that! It never occurred to me that a cold sore is a type of herpes. You live and learn I guess and with careless mistakes come consequences. This has been going on since Wednesday and I didn't want to go to the doctor but it started getting so painful that I finally broke down and went. I told my boyfriend about what happened and thankfully he is supportive and feels absolutely terrible about it. Fortunately he still loves me and wants to be with me so that's good. He's the only one that knows. I can't bare to tell any friends or family because I feel they'll judge me. I have a couple of questions though 1. Peeing is absolutely the worst thing ever right now because of the open sores. I have tried putting witch hazel on them to help them heal, I've tried peeing while sitting and water, and just now I tried peeing standing up (ridiculous, I know!) But I'm just in so much pain that I almost just don't want to go to the bathroom at all! Does anyone have any suggestions how I can make this a little more pleasant until my sores heal? 2. Since my boyfriend obviously has it but only has it in his mouth is it possible for him to get it down there if we have unprotected sex even when I don't have any sores present? Thanks guys! I'm really glad I found this site because this whole situation is a bit scary and overwhelming.
