Shingles :: NO Rashes Or Blisters, But Stinging
I never had any rashes or blisters, but I have had stinging, very tiny feelings that feel like an itch under my skin lately across my back in the middle and waistline. I had the brush burn feeling on my shoulder and under my left arm with jabbing pain in my left breast. But that is pretty much gone. I had taken Acyclovir for 10 days early on, so are the Shingles moving around under my skin in other places?
View 2 RepliesInsect Bites :: Bite Blisters And New Blisters Form Around It Days Later
What kind of illness or insect could cause small insect bites to blister on the bite site? After being bitten a blister appears on the skin at the site of the bite after a couple of days, followed by new blisters forming around this bite site a further few days later. Skin appears red and site is painful, blisters are about 1cm in diameter and half a cm in height, newly formed blisters appear much smaller. This insect bite would have been contracted in a central American country such as Guatemala.

View 1 RepliesSTD :: Brown Rashes/scaling In My Groin Area
I noticed this few days ago and started applying Lamisil, assuming its a a fungal infection, it has been 3 days but no change in the infected area. It's not painful and occasionally itchy but not too bad. I shower regularly and never had this issue before. I am married and have only 1 sex partner, my wife had fungal infection as well after our last intercourse. Does Lamisil work for this kind of fungal infection or do i need to go to the doctor or wait few more days to see impact of Lamisil?

View 1 RepliesPeriods Heavy For 2 Days, Medium For 2 Days, Then Light For 1-2 Days
Please tell me is my period flow normal. I used to get 5-6 day periods, heavy for 2 days, medium for 2 days, then light for 1-2 days until it tapered off and ended. It was this way even when I was on birth control.
For the past few months now, I have been getting 3-4 day periods, where the first day is really just some spotting indicating my period is going to be starting. The second day is my heavy day. The third day is medium light. The 4th day is light. I'm still on birth control. I am 30 years old now.
Also last month, my period color was dark brown and I also had some black colored clotting during my heavy day. I know some blood clots are normal during menstruation, I had them all my life. But this blood clot was black. Again this month on my heavy day, I had black colored clot. It was a dime size clot. Size was not large. Is black color clotting anything to worry about? I do not see red blood these past two periods like I am used to seeing. I am seeing mostly brown and/or black.
And how can I increase my menstrual flow. I am worried that my endometrium lining is thinning and can cause a problem when I do try for children.
Blisters On And Around Vagina After Dry Sex?
I'm really worried because I had sex for the first time 6 days ago and it was quite painful as it was pretty dry & the next day my vagina was really sore and it would hurt to wipe or sit down. I was concerned so I grabbed a mirror and had a look and i could see about 3 tears and redness. I just dealt with it for about 2 days when it got more painful with extreme itching and burning sensation when urinating, so i took another look and there was maybe 3 blisters i could see and it stung to touch them. today there is maybe like 5 or so and they are yellow on top and hard to the touch. i have clear/milky white odourless discharge. im convinced its either a yeast infection or herpes. oh and ill add that about 3 days before i had sex I washed myself with vagisil for the first time & it felt like i had a chemical burn down there., but if anyone has anything to help or that would be amazing please!
View 2 RepliesMenopause :: Feeling Out Of Sorts - Good Days / Bad Days
For the past year i have had many strange symptoms in varying degrees, good days/bad days, good weeks/bad weeks.
Here is a list of my symptoms
Lack of energy, Extreme tiredness/fatigue,feeling faint (although never fainted),dizzy on and off but always dizzy up to a week before my period, one very bad period of 4 months vertigo. Jelly legs,shaky inside, feeling weak as though I've had the flu or something but I've not even had a cold this year.Palpitations, feeling detached, feeling like i'm about to loose consciousness (very odd feeling) the feeling you get just as you are about to go to sleep, Brain fog.Sensitive to light, eyes often become bloodshot. Headaches/migraine. Sometimes feel so cold inside & cannot seem to warm up.Periods of insomnia, bladder irritability especially in week before period, episodes of what i now call bladder fizz where bladder so irritable it feels like i have fizzy liquid in my bladder cannot sleep through this sensation sometimes accompanied by the feeling of a red hot needle going up the urethra (would be interested to know if anyone else gets this & any remedies please? A pain I get on either side low down about where pubic hair begins pain seems to radiate to back & sometimes down into the thigh on the side of where the pain begins, doesn't seem to coincide with ovulation & randomly happens (ibuprofen usually takes it off after a couple of hours) Bloating & times of excessive wind.Monthly cyst like spots on jaw line, hair sprouting on chin & upper lip (invested in a home laser scanner) Hair beginning to thin at temples.
Food cravings for something salty & chocolate particularly before period.
I am almost 53 so after reading forums on here have come to the conclusion that its menopause & not some mysterious illness, thought I might have Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, just didn't realise there were so many different symptoms of menopause.
Last year I did have very bad night sweats & hot flushes but they have reduced greatly, I take vit 6, eat plenty of fresh fruit/veg/salads, chicken, fish, flax seeds/chia seeds.
I'm so pleased to have found this forum & to find i'm not the only one suffering through this and not going mad, hope this might help someone else.
Undiagnosed Blisters Around Vagina
I have been suffering from painful pus filled blisters around my vagina for last 3 years! It is like a cycle, the skin gets hard, a small blister appears, it turns bigger, swollen, red, itchy and after 5 or so days, it would burst and slowly, the pus and blood would drain causing me enough discomfort to lie down (i cant even sit, forget about walking) for weeks at a time.
I have been tested for Herpes and been told several times its not that. I use Clotrimazole regularly but it does nothing much.
Last week I had this blister develop right on the left vulva and it became big enough to look like a cyst, extremely painful...No amount of pain killers was helping and my GP advised it is vulval abscess and needs to be drained by a GYN. I went to the hospital and the next morning the freak doctor cut me open without any general or local anesthesia at all!I died with pain!!!
I am home now and the pus it still leaking, the wound has not dried yet completely.
The doctors said it is not bartholin cyst, but I don't know what the hell it was and why does it keep recurring...
I have been taking oxytetracycline for almost 3 years now, took fluconazole for 1 year and I am also on thyroxine since last 5 yrs...
If anyone has any idea about what this is and why this might be happening, please let me know.
About the sexual history thing...I have never had intercourse with a stranger..only 2 men in my entire life, both were serious when it happened.In fact since I am always in pain, sex is the last thing on my mind. I am always sitting, so I don't exercise, and my body shape has grown 3 sizes since I do not move.
Got Blisters On My Vagina After Shave
I shaved and I thought it felt different shaving this time (I usually always shave) and that night I could barely sleep because I was in so much pain and then the next day and since then I've had blisters appearing on my vagina that hurt so much I can barely sleep or walk and I'll have sharp shooting pains, I've honestly never experienced this much pain in my life. I have a boyfriend and I asked him about it he's the only guy I've ever slept with and he hasn't slept with any other girls and when I got with him he got tested and was clear so it can't be an sti surely?
View 7 RepliesChickenpox :: Age 37
Ive just caught it off my two young daughters (who both still have it). I paid to have a private jab £125 to vaccinate me against chicken pox as soon as my girls developed it. Anyway, a week later i felt very tired, spent all of wednesday in bed, temperature of 37.9c, went work on thursday, hot and sweaty (thinking it was the jab), friday, got up feeling rough, covered in spots (jab was too late).
Id say i had about 1-2 thousand spots, my head was one red carpet. My body, back, arms, and tops of my legs are all covered, tho not as dense. My doctor gave me a sick note for two weeks (but thats only after i told him i didnt want to self cert). But thats all he gave me. No pills, lotion, nothing.
Anyway, most days have been spent in bed with brief periods with the screaming girls. My wife has been wonderful, coping with it all, just giving me space and making sure i drink!
Oddly, the big spots have got bigger and the small ones seem to be retreating, but it just looks like really bad acne. I have also found that the areas i didnt put calmine lotion on are much more comfortable and a lot less inflamed... I left my chest alone altogether and ive hardly noticed it.
Wish id never put any on my face and head.
Im taking lemsip twice a day and any old painkillers i can find before i go bed.
I cannot see that i will be in any shape to go work in 10 days, not unless they start scabbing over soon.
I spent the first few days really worrying about the scars i may get on my face, now i couldnt care less, i just want it over asap, i want to be able to eat without pain, sit, lie down, blink without feeling the huge blisters on my eylids touching, pick things up without the blisters on my fingers screaming.
Other than that im starting to feel ok, im going to go round the house later and remove all the mirrors.
My advice, only put calomine lotion on if you need to, keep cool - avoid sweating if poss. And avoid reading stuff on the internet, this site is the exception, i want to hear from someone on day 14...
Chickenpox :: Age 49
I have just come back from the Dr. and told it 'may' be CP. On Sunday (2 days ago), I noticed two spots and thought they may be bites. Thought nothing of it, but on Monday, these spots turned into 6 different blisters around the same area. I have been given calamine lotion.
It doesn't help that, as I going through my menopause, I get the odd flush (which of course could be temperature change re: CP)
I have been generally feeling unwell, but we had a hectic few days a couple of weeks ago for a big event at work and put it down to that, along with the change of weather.
It also doesn't help that I take medication for blood pressure and therefore, the odd headache may be due to that, or it may be due to CP.
Herpes :: HSV 1 - Blisters And Ulcers - May Have Contracted It?
I recently had some irritation following sex with a girl who I know gets cold sores on occasion. On the shaft of my penis, near the head there is an abrasion of sorts that is mostly painless and I never saw blisters. It doesn't seem to heal, but I've had similar problems in the past; once that skin tears, it seems to take months to heal.
My question is, should I be the slightest bit concerned that I may have contracted HSV1? I went to my doctor and I find that most doctors really have no clue about STDs; she said it could be herpes, but it wasn't typical. Anyone else have an opinion? Do blisters usually show up and hang around for a while before they begin to look like ulcerated skin? Is the pain from these sores usually obvious?
