Popping of herpes blisters?
(Looking for answers in response to genital herpes)
How easily are herpes blisters popped? Like is it something that pops very easily, or are the blister bubbles harder to pop -- like you'd pop it with a needle or something? Also, when you have an outbreak and the blisters pop, is there normally a noticeable change to the skin underneath where the blister was?
Looking for personal experiences. I know it can vary
Also, are your blisters normally clustered very close together or have your blisters just been more all over?
These might seem like stupid questions, but I just feel these are some things I have not been exactly successful finding answers to from HSV positive people while googling
Thanks a bunch!
Do your breakouts itch a ton/a lot? Like itch as in, it would draw your attention and feel the need to itch when you're walking around in the middle of the day
How easily do your blisters pop? and yeah, for sure! What do your sores look like personally?
and thank you!
and thank you!
I don't suggest popping the blisters they can get infected, I was diagnosed with hsv2 about 4 months ago my first outbreak was the worst I had like 10 bumps all over my v card it was horrible :/ now I only get 1 or 2 sores it's uncomfortable but I'm hoping it gets better with time :)
I hope so too! You would think there would be by now. Especially when you consider the fact they managed to make a Shingles vaccine, which is in the same family as HSV.
Yea its the weirdest thing but it still causes discomfort. But gosh, I hope there will be a cure soon!
Thank you Fleetwood. No, I have not. I have been too scared to get the test. I know that's the only thing to do to relieve my anxiety though.
None of your symptoms are suggested of herpes.
Have you had a blood test, given the time that has passed, this will accurately tell you your HSV status?

Gotcha. That's not how mine was. That's interesting that you have herpes on your leg! That's lucky it's not elsewhere though!
Yes, a bunch of tiny blisters clustered together. And I would say my outbreak gets to be the size of a nickel.
Is it a bunch of tiny blisters close together? Like how large would you say your outbreak gets?
Thanks a lot for your response/time :) I appreciate it

I had a swab test done of a large ulcer (size of a coin) that occurred about 8 months ago. My results came back negative. I never had recurrence of the ulcer, but also never found out what it was.
I was shaving the other day and I noticed some white areas in my vaginal folds/near the outside of the clitoral hood. Like spots. When I rubbed the area the white went away, but I at first questioned if they could have been blisters. It didn't hurt or anything though. I haven't noticed issues in the area I found the white stuff (like no itching, burning, etc). Deeper down in the fold I saw what almost appears as a greenish/yellowish material/discharge - which also makes me wonder if that's smegma. I have been tested for the most common STDs twice (Gonorrhea, Chlamydia, Syphilis, etc.) and other bacteria. I have only received negative results. So, I don't know if i'm over thinking, but it really scared me. It's not trich or bv either. Have been tested for those as well.
I thought previously I had a smegma build up in the area, which definitely seems like a possibility! I just didn't know if smegma could build up in that way. There were also white areas and little tiny tiny balls of what looked like discharge. Maybe fatty deposits? I don't know. I also feel like because of the ulcer, I have neglected to really get in it to clean as I get worried I will irritate it -- which is also why I thought that smegma could be a possibility
I just have been super worried ever since I had the ulcer back in November. Also, thank you for the response!

There are many different ways herpes lesions appear and behave.
Isn't the key issue here your diagnosis? What testing have you had to this point?

I recently found bout I have hsv, but up until this point I've been having the outbreaks without knowing what they were exactly.
But from my own experiences, the blisters are easy to pop and they are clustered together. I have my out break on my leg in the same exact spot every time and in that spot there is a scar there now. It isn't very big but u can definitely see it.
