So how long does it take for it to go away. The area were I have it on my finger is purple and painful

So the other day I had terrible pain from my armpit to the tip of my index finger and I noticed small fluid filled vesicles forming that are really painful is this herpetic whitlow? Could it have happend if I had a cut and touched downtown and contracted it from myself. What can I do so it won't spread?

Need an h buddy here male female in the Los Angeles area

Thanks guys I feel very welcomed didn't realize how many people out there have herpes I felt all alone and it was difficult even talking about it at the though of people's react

Hi I'm new to the forum I will always look in here and look at other people stories and how they have overcome having herpes. I am 24 years old and I was diagnosed about 9 months ago. I still have trouble dealing with it,especially when I have outbreaks that remind me I have it, other than that I live a pretty normal life. I currently have a boyfriend who is a gift from God and accepted me along with the H he is h negative. I still feel down here and there but realize that I'm normal and I'm alive. I contracted the virus from my ex boyfriend who was messing around while we were together. How I found out I had it one day at work I started to feel chills and got fever extremely bad lower back pain right before my period then I felt this bump in my inner vagina that hurt a lot it sent a throbbing pain down my leg,then boom within the next few days an awful full blown outbreak with blisters mainly in my rectum that hurt so bad I auto knew it was herpes. I had made an appointment with my gynecologist who swabed one of the blisters. My test came back positive I was in a terrible shock, not to mention I felt that now I couldn't leave my physically and mentally abusive boyfriend who I lived with because I felt worthless, not to mention he had fraudulently taken all my money from my bank account. Having no money and feeling worthless I just wanted to die. To make a long story short I ended up calling my mother who helped me get out and I pressed charges on my ex boyfriend who I feared for many months after that because he kept threatening me until things got settled in court. Now I have found self worth in me and my new boyfriend is very supportive and I know now how I should be treated and how I will never ever want to be treated or feel worthless ever again in my life. I hated how toxic a person with no morals can be and make you feel when your most vulnerable.
