My name is Slava Fuzayloff and I am a physician at STDcenterNY. We have been dealing with different aspects of herpes testing and treatment at our facility for more than 20 years.
I will tell you about nine tell-tail genital herpes signs that are very specific for herpes rash and separate it from other genital skin conditions such as friction burn, balanitis (fungal infection of the head of the penis), vaginal yeast infection, syphilis, folliculitis (infection of the hair follicles) and others.
1. Prodrome period
2. “Nerve” symptoms of tingling and shooting pain
3. The preference for a thin and moist areas
4. Painful sores
5. Clustered lesions
6. Affects superficial area of the skin
7. Herpes lesions are usually on one side of the body (left or right)
8. Herpes lesions evolve over time that is changing their appearance.
9. Enlarged and painful lymph nodes on the side of the rash

I tested positive for HSV after having a horrible outbreak, and felt the same way you described in your interview. Listening to you share your overcoming experience gave me the glimmer of hope I needed to hear. I am glad that there are people like you out there who just want to help other people who are struggling with the same issues. Your words gave me the courage I needed to hear today to know that it's ok.

Afrer the initial stages of the infection, can subsequent herpes outbreak suddenly lasts for 6 months or more, eventhough previous outbreak had lasted for few weeks to a month?
-
I am thankful for this info . Does recurring herpes leak a clear fluid, is it painful, or does it sometimes forms without a crust.
-
Very helpful ❤️
-
This was best explanation I ever heard, how can it can be cured ??
-
I tested for herpes and the results are Igm positive igg negative and I don’t have symptoms. Is that I have it for sure ?
-
Im so confused, it clearly says "with a herpes lesion the skin thickness is NORMAL" and below it says "It looks THICKER than neighboring skin or bumpier"? Which one is it?
