I am 25, I just found out I have herpes and I don't even know from where. I've had only one partner and he swears nothing happened, and I was his only one too. We have been together since Highschool.
The symptoms started while I was away on vacation. I thought I had folliculitis, I bathed in epsom salt for the week. When I came back, it was only getting worse, I went to the doctor which gave me the diagnosis and took a sample. It's been 4 weeks, and the symptoms are still there. I did get a prescription for Valacyclovir from my doctor, which I took: I can't remember the dosage, but I took 4 pills per day for 7 days. It was getting better but it was still itchy, red and wet. When I finished my pills, it got worse and now it's been the same for the whole week. It's now been 4 weeks and it's still very itchy, red and very wet. Am I the only one who has that much liquid? My underwears are damp and I have to change 4 times a day, cause it'll go through my pants. I can,t get out of the house for more than 2hours without having to come back to change pants, and underwear. I wear a big night pad and it's not enough because the pad can't cover the surface of the "wound". I tried tea tree oil, zinc, I am currently taking L-Lysine it's been 2 weeks. Will it ever leave???
