Sorry and thank you will take your advise
I think at this point it would be best to post if and when you do develop a sore. Ive never heard of prodrome with Whitlow.
Will the onset of a possible first symptom of whitlow be pain in the wrist (under side)?
Again thank you for setting my mind at ease.
Again, whitlow is very rare and more rare since you already have antibodies so from what you describe it would be highly unlikely you contracted it. Its so rare its hardly even mentioned in this forum when we talk about herpes and contraction.
This happend on Monday afternoon don't you think I would have notice something by now being 48 hrs in regards to a symptom? There was no liquid from hsv2 on the zipper but can the virus still transfer from the hand to zipper to underneath fingernail with no liquid? Can the virus get underneath fingernails, are there any "opening" under the nail to let the virus in? Again- thanks for you help I'm usually very cautious but this is a close call for me
Hi again, whitlow is very painful and would be limited to the hand ganglia not the forearm. Please try to keep all your threads in one post as can cause confusion.
