Quick Question!!

[hi123]

For the past week and a half I have been itchy and tingly down there. I am already diagnosed so my question does not involve that. I do not think I have any visible bumps or sores (that I can clearly see) yet it is itchy and tingly. Is it possible to have those two symptoms and it not be an outbreak or do I definitely have one? Usually mine only last a few days as well and this one is going on much longer and I don't know how to get rid of it!! Please answer asap :)

Not being any sort of medical resource, and not actually knowing anything:

Be safe, ask your doctor about suppression medicine like valacyclovir, most importantly disclose before you get intimate.

It is possible to "shed" the virus without showing visible signs of an out break. Shedding can lead to spreading the virus on yourself, or transmission to a partner through skin to skin contact. Prevent this by washing your hands well, taking an antiviral medication like valacyclovir, and abstain if you think you are having symptoms.

If you touch the area, wash your hands with regular soap and water.

 

Doing those things will save you mountains of trouble.
