Question by Bam: I have eczema and tested positive for herpes simplex type 1, PLZ HELP?
hi, i’ve just done some reading and have only just found out about a disease called Eczema Herpeticum, i couldn’t find out much about it. so i need some help please.
i have had eczema since i was a baby, and recently i tested positive for HSV1, does that mean i automatically have Eczema Herpeticum. it said it can lead to problems in the brain, lungs and eyes, and be fatal.
last december i had an allergic reaction to something, and i got a rash on my wrist which was slightly red, with white dry skin. i was itching a great deal a while after, my eyes were swollen at one point but went up and down for a few days. it wasn’t till march that i found otu that i had HSV1. in between that time i’ve had head aches at time and stuff. i let my doctors know that i had a preexisting case of eczema yet they never brought up the question “do you have herpes” (this was before testing postitive for hsv1) and after i found out, i’ve let doctors know i’ve got hsv1 and an existing case of eczema yet no one has ever said anything. please help. i’m really worried about this.
Lindsey your response was completely useless. you have given me nothing useful. all you’ve told me is a bit about herpes and a bit about eczema. you’ve completely ignored the question. people like you make this whole yahoo answers thing more difficult than it should be.

HSV1 is so widespread (more people have it than not) that if it was a significant risk there is no way the doctor would have overlooked it.
And eczema is also very common (one person in ten) so plenty have both, and they’re ok.

Psychosomatic or Herpes.?

Alan — Wed, 14 Apr 2010 16:37:34 +0000

In April i had someone accuse me of giving them Genital Herpes the day after we slept together ( used condoms!!) . Which is a rediculous accusation, but i was tested anyway, and was negative.

In June I had experienced what turned out to be Mono. I only know this because the guy i was dating at the time, got sick 2 days after i did, with the exact same symptoms, and he went right to the Doctor and was blood tested positive for Mono.
I discovered a growing bump in my vaginal area that turned out to be what the doctor said was “Folliculitis” basically a boil under the skin . She strongly believed it was NOT herpes, and that i can get tested if i want. I was tested for it again, and it was negative.

Let me just say i have Eczema and contact dermatitis since i was born, so when i usually see bumps and rashes, it’s a normal everyday thing.

This Herpes thing was almost completely put to rest until i received a ‘cold sore’ on my lip, and noticed a bump on the side of my vagina, at the same time. I’m not sure if that’s possible, or maybe i am imaging things. My mom and her side of the family all gets cold sores on the lips, because 40 years ago, no one knew they were contagious. But now i am Constantly checking down below with a mirror, and constantly looking at my lips. i mean i do have pimples on my chin, and always have.

I recently noticed a week later that my salivary gland under my chin is hard and enlarged.
i am constantly Googling and looking at pictures and my friend is a med student and she says i may be psychosematic. Could it have something to do with being accused i had it? I don’t know. Negative Tests, and Scoffing Doctors, i just feel bastardized.

Any helpful Thoughts?

Could my doctor be wrong about negative herpes diagnosis ?

Two days ago I went to the doctor because I had some discomfort in my vagina and I thought I felt a bump on my labia. I thought it might be a razor bump but fearing it could be Herpes I figured I’d get it looked at anyway. She checked me out and said everything looked okay just irritated and that I had something that looked like blisters in my vaginal wall but that she had poked and prodded at them and I hadn’t reacted so it couldn’t possibly be Herpes because I would have been screaming with pain. She asked if I had done anything new and I told her I had tried the KY Intrigue heat. She went on a rant on how those things should be outlawed and said I had Contact Dermatitis. She didn’t give me any medication only told me to put a cold cloth to sooth the area and if it got too bad to use diaper rash cream, which I did use and it did make me feel better. I asked her if I should get a blood test to be positve it’s not herpes but she said it wasn’t necessary that the bumps did not act in a hepatic manner. I thought everything was fine but last night I got a fever out of nowhere and when I woke up this morning I had several more bumps on my labia. They don’t hurt and they are not liquid filled, they are just hard little bumps and my pubic area feels tender. This is only my second time shaving this area so I don’t know how bad razor bumps can get but this feels wrong to me.

Herpes And Valtrex Question?

Alan — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 19:12:16 +0000

Is it possible to get a outbreak of herpes after taking valtrex two days earlier for a week. Now I have a sore down there. Could it be something else and I’m just scared for nothing. I was taking the Valtrex for what a doctor thought was shingles and a cold sore at the same time. But a dermatologist sad NO- he believed it was contact dermatitis. Please help
