Outbreak uncertainty

[tee19262]

I struggle with knowing whether or not im having an outbreak or if something else is going on. I dont have any sores or blisters. I just get slightly itchy around my vaginal opening and slight rash irritation along my butt crack. For the most part i think these are indicators. The medicine im taking is valtrex i guess it helps. I feel like im always taking it.  By the time im done with the 10 days, i feel slight reflief for a week or two and then I feel like having another outbreak soon after? Maybe its not working properly. Ugh idk. Bottom line Its so difficult to know when im having an outbreak bc symptoms are so suttle.

Where you tested for BV and other infections?

I'm going through the same thing, except I have outbreaks, and don't notice them until the sores are there. I don't have any of the common symptoms and I get the occasional itch between my vag and butt crack, but nothing else. I'm taking valtrex and notice that the symptoms go away in about a few days, but then it comes right back. I was going to talk to my doctor about maybe prescribing another antiviral. But let me know what works for you...
