For one, I know very well that you can't
just let a case of herpes go and forget
all about it without feeling a severe
acute pain sensation everytime the
affected area or outbreak is rubbed.
Two, was your partner sexually active
before you and him got together? Usually
I've been hearing a lot of virgins being
attacked by 'non-existing ghost like
viruses'.
Three, if you really did have an
outbreak...before this scab occured, did
the area affected of herpes emit any virus
laden clear fluid? And if so, how long?
Was the cut surrounded in the swelling of
skin? Before and after discovering this
scab, had you first felt as a tingling
and/or itching sensation in the affected
location?
Honestly, you didn't do well enough
research on herpes to make assumptions
that you have the case. One thing is for
certain, depending on how severe the
herpes generally arise in outbreaks
similar to acne-blister like formation.
And if you did have an outbreak, you
wouldn't be like 'ohp, oh well' and be
occupied by other things. If herpes had
been submitted to you by sex, you would
have erosion blister like outbreaks that
would be emitting a virus laden clear
fluid for days and then followed by the
many blisters to scab up. Also a result
in some cases of herpes, the affected
persons will experience headaches,
fatigue, and peculiar twitching sensations
in the nerves that lead to the area of the
outbreak.
Like I've mentioned before in a recent
thread, it's common for people now a days,
for them to go onto the internet and look
at the symptoms of each std, comparing
their issues and think worse of their
problems.
Mind you this, after the scab goes away
between a week to 10 days, and you come
down with another out break and it gets
severe to the symptoms I had mentioned,
then you will need to talk to your doctor.
Also, if you do have herpes...the thing
about herpes, is the outbreaks will go
away for a period of time and then will
return. Even though the outbreaks are gone
for an absence of time, that case of
herpes can still be transmitted to those
who do not have herpes.
