Mild Herpes Outbreak Questions

[lm44]

Hi Everyone,

 

I have genital HSV 1.

 

I believe I am having a mild outbreak, I feel some irritation and it's a bit itchy, but I'm not entirely clear on what a "mild" outbreak can look/feel like.

 

Any feedback on this would be great!

 

Also, I have been experiecing headaches which I had consistently during my primary outbreak...are symptoms of a primary outbreak able to happen during subseqeunt outbreaks?

 

Thanks!

Sounds like you are having "Prodromes" - not a full on OB but the sub-clinical symptoms of shedding.

And the headaches should hopefully subside over time ... again, as your body gains better control of the virus ...
