You don't have "herpes" in the STD sort of sense...\n\nThere are many types of herpes--Simplex 1,  Simplex 2, chicken pox, and shingles.  It is a virus that always stays with you...it is not a bacteria.\n\nOral Herpes--which most humans have--is simplex 1.  The cold sore or fever blister comes out during stress or colds--i.e. fever blister or cold sore.  The virus becomes active during stress or colds because your resistance is down at that time.\n\nGenital Herpes--Simplex 2--causes sores on the genitals.\n\nChicken Pox-Most people get this at some point in their life.\nShingles--causes pain in an area around nerves--older people tend to get this.\n\nI don't know of any other way to get a fever blister other than having simplex 1 or 2.  However, the virus that causes oral herpes is very common, almost everyone has it and in many people it does not show up very often.  In some people it shows up as a canker sore on the inside of the mouth...so people don't ever see it just feel that they ate too many crunchy chips or something.\n\nJust don't pick at it or touch your genitals after touching your mouth--oral herpes in rare instances can be transferred to the genital area.

no. however a "fever blister" or cold sore is generally speaking most likely herpes type 1. "Genital Herpes" aka herpes type 2 however can look like just a fever blister. what I mean by this is that other than the genitals you can get herpes blisters on your fingers (usually around the cuticle area) and on you lips,inside your mouth and in some particularly painful cases on your eye lids. so by Herpes symptoms what exactly do you mean? Fever, chills, more blisters?  A blood test for herpes only shows for whether you have been exposed to the virus, NOT if you have been infected with it. The difference is that if you are exposed to a virus you blood builds up antibodies to that virus which means next time you are exposed you can fight back! When you are infected the virus "wins" and you get sick. The only definative test there is currently (at least to my knowlege) is a culture of the blister before it dries up. I know this sounds gross and it is... but if you don't find out if you have herpes, well you could go for 30 years and not know you have it and then when you are married and pregnant suddenly your husband gets an outbreak. Oh yeah did I mention that you don't have to have an outbreak to transmit herpes type 2. Now, not only do you have a significant other to worry about but did you know that if you have an outbreak during certain parts of your pregnancy your baby could die. or it might just be brain damaged. Point being just get that blister checked out ok? Trust me... The reason I know this stuff is because I waited too long to find out. I've never had a real outbreak but I have had a blood test which says I have at least been exposed to both types... so just TRUST ME You'll be glad to have a REAL answer either way

Mild fever, backache, headache, sore throat, a rash (red spots) and blisters filled with fluid. These are the common symptoms of chicken pox. \n\nBefore the typical rash appears, patients often develop a fever, headache, swollen glands and other flu like symptoms.\n\nThe scabs sure do itch a lot.\n\nIf you feel a burning sensation you should tell your doctor about it.\n\nGet well soon.

The virus starts to multiply when it gets into the skin cells. The skin becomes red and sensitive, and soon afterward, one or more blisters or bumps appear. The blisters first open, and then heal as new skin tissue forms. During a first outbreak, the area is usually painful and may itch, burn or tingle. Flu-like symptoms are also common. These include swollen glands, headache, muscle ache or fever. Herpes may also infect the urethra, and urinating may cause a burning sensation

yes, you can.  Lets say you have herpes simplex 1 outbreak on your lip, and you touch your lip and forget to wash your hands, and than touch your genital area. This will most definetly put you at high risk for spreading herpes simplex 2 too yourself. People who have Hsv-1 must wash there hands very frequently when a outbreak occurs

Do they itch and/or hurt? Do they run in a straight line on just one side of the body? Have you ever had chicken pox? If you answered yes to these three questions, odds are it's shingles. But you can always get a second opinion from another doctor.

Yeah, I think that once your immune system has one thing to deal with, sometimes it can't deal as well with other things that are happening.  That is probably the reason for the cold sore, the zits, and the eczema.  I hope you feel better soon.

It could be herpes, but if they're on the insides of your legs, they're probably just boils.  You should visit your doctor though, because boils are painful, will spread, and can only be cured by an antibiotic.

You are better USING ICE CUBES on your sores for 20 minutes repeat every 2 hours..\n\nalso its possible if you feel a new sore coming to stop it from erupting..at a early stage one day and your sore is gone..\n\n(Withe the ice cube,(cold and water) you are fooling the skin to believe taht the virus causing the eruption is gone

If you have herpes you may never have an outbreak and never know you have it. OR you will develop a tingling and/or itching in the area where the sores will show up. An hour or up to a day later "pimple" looking sores will appear in that region. They are very painful and pretty much anything irritates them. Then these "pimples" will explode and leave open sores. The sores can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks to heal. Generally a week if it's not the first outbreak. They heal and do not leave any scars. Then the virus travels back down the spinal cord and lies dormant until (if) it reoccurs. It may be brought on by stress, caffeine, alcohol, sex, or menstrual periods.

when i had them i was told that the spread by contact, using stuff that the patient has used and even getting too close to the sick person.\n\nHope you get better soon.\njust remember to NOT scratch or the pox will leave scars forever like they did to me. 2 on arms and 1 on foot.

No, I lost weight recently and never had that problem, if you are sore it is most likely from something else.

First does your boyfriend know that you have genital herpes? Just because he wore a condom doesn't mean that he didn't catch herpes Whether you have symptoms or not, you can still transmit the infection. If you are sexually active, condoms can help reduce, but do not eliminate, the risk of spreading HSV.\n\nGenital herpes (also called HSV infection) is a viral infection caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV). It is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that may cause skin blisters and sores in the genital area, but often causes no visible symptoms. It is possible to get genital herpes through sexual contact with an infected person even if he or she has no symptoms. \n\nI hope this helps...Be careful sweety

You can develop swollen glands from infections, allergic reactions, cancer etc.  It is something your doctor should diagnose if you are concerned.  It also depends on where it is located on your body.  You have glands through out your body, for example in your arm pits, groin, neck to name a few.  Go have it checked if it continues to be bothersome, and it will ease your mind.

Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease(oral sex included). It may be spread to the mouth(oral herpes) or to the genital area(genital herpes).It is a virus that lies dormant in your spinal cord(it never goes away) and when it becomes active it rises to the surface to reactivate. It usually reactivates itself in the area where the disease was first contracted. \nYou may contract this STD from someone who has an active herpes outbreak and the sores are visible or from someone who has never had an outbreak but still has the virus.\nMany people do not even know they have the disease because they never have a first outbreak or if they do it is mild. Then they may never have another for the rest of their lives.\nIf a first outbreak occurs it is usually 1 to 2 weeks after contracting the disease. It's very painful and starts with a tingling and/or itching in the infected area. Then bumps that look like tiny pimples appear. These "pimples" then pop and cause red sores that are very painful. They can last anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks depending on the person.\n1 in 4 people have herpes and there is no cure. Hope this helps.
