I was wondering if you would/should have to seek medical attention if they keep reappearing, after they go away for a couple of days? Or do you think that it will be okay and no need to be overwhelmed by this?

they say it is stress induced, the reoccuring. You can get medicine to help shorten the heal time such as abreva. the other less costly ones do not work nearly as well. It will be OK it is a very common condition. It is aggravating, but it is no big deal. Good luck

call the medical info line at your local hospital, they may have a nurse on hand to answer your question or one will call you back.\nbut if it doesn't go away soon go to your doctor!

Yes, it's very treatable.  I don't know of anyone that has had this done that had it come back.  \n\nI know you're scared.  Stuff like this can be scary at times.  But chances are in your favor that you will be just fine.

How weird, my mom just had this, and I had never heard about it before that. All the above is correct, but I just wanted to add that you ought to get it treated soon and change your diet around accordingly. My mom almost died from it, which is unheard of, and she ended up having a foot of intestine being taken out. Watch out! It can get pretty damn serious.

Thanks for making me laugh.....\n\nI wouldn't worry about it unless it happens all the time.  Did you eat something very spicy yesterday?  Or perhaps you need to get more fibre in your diet.\n\nIn any case, I think you'd make your doctor giggle with that description of your problem.

I'm not sure how common it is, but it happens to a lot of men.  If you're concerned, you can see a doctor about it, but most likely, the doctor will just tell you that they'll go away on their own eventually.  It is possible to get surgery to remove them, but that's generally not necessary.

not me personally, but I have taken care of many patients with it. You may need to adjust your medications if it is recurring. See your doc.

YOu know the answer. Go to the doctor immediately. Why would you think you could trust people here? This is nothing to screw around with.

HI. IT COULD JUST BE A IRRITATED GLAND OR LYMPHNOID ( WE HAVE TONS OF THEM IN OUR NECKS). I WOULD WAITE A FEW DAYS AND IF IT IS NOT GONE YOU SHOULD HAVE IT CHECKED. BETTER SAFE THEN SORRY. GOOD LUCK.

You should definitely have them checked out! They could be nothing, but don't you think you'd feel better if you knew for sure?

Sorry hun but I'd go to the doctor and get something to get rid of them properly, and for good!

DONT WORRY. all women have them every month when the time comes they just burst and go away. some times though if it becomes a problem. they can go in and remove them. i would not worry about this at this time. take care of your baby inside you. the doctors know what they are doing. take care.

Have you told your doctor (PCP) everything you've just posted here? If not then do so and if you have and then I would suggest for you to get a second opinion. Good luck and I hope you feel better.

Please, don't put your health in the hands of an amateur forum. Respect your mind and body. Consult your doctor. (I am a physician myself and this is the best advice I can possibly give you.)

My son had a similar condition last year at school. The nurse at school called me and apparently it is called " Fifth disease". It went away within 2 days,  it was splotchy, red, no itch, no fever, no residual side effects, but he looked horrible for 2 days, it affected his cheeks, arms, thighs, buttocks, back and stomach it  has never come back, I have never heard of anything like this being a recurring problem. Best wishes, Tiff
