Thank you tons. Day 1 of full meds is over and I still feel it all the time but I walked with less of a cringe and sitting didn't completely suck. Another first timer question... With the outbreak so bad it's hard to wash and I feel dirty. Not gross just a lot is going on down there. In the morning and night I sit in the tub and just flush I guess. Any tips or just leave it alone and love washing when it's gone? My doctor said no harsh soaps and avoid putting anything on it. Showers so far have been water followed by the blow dryer (which was a great tip I read last night)

Friday I noticed one single bump, I assumed it was an in grown hair because I get them fairly common from waxing. By noon, I had 3 blisters that looked like little swollen pores. I was freaked but not in any pain or discomfort so continued with work. By Friday night these tiny blisters/enlarged pores had spread to my entire right labia. Freaked I scheduled the first appointment for the doctors Monday. By Sunday night my entire labia was covered with these tiny blistering enlarged pores that look nothing like herpes pictures. The doctor confirmed visually and also tested that it is intact herpes. I can deal with that later and I will but now I need to stop this pain. I'm sure others have felt this but it HURTS. I feel like new sores develop and burst every second. I work an office job so at night I'm in a loose dress only to try and have little pressure or touching the pain only seems to get worse at night. I started my meds today to start working as the outbreak was "the worst I've ever seen" according to my doctor and seems much more dramatic than anything I can find in my recent obsession with the google tool bar. I've read around the sight and there seems to be no quick fix or advice to deal with the pain right now. Could seriously use some real help here. Doctor told me not t put anything on them and leave them dry but I do feel slightly better if I ice or after a warm shower. Will this make the healing process more lengthily?? Please help I know I WILL be fine but this pain is horrendous.
