Thank you for your response even during the holiday season. Hope you had a good thanksgiving.
If I have scabbed over vesicles on my left hand, is the herpes still shedding at this point? And is there any risk that I could spread it to my girlfriend if I used my right hand (after wrapping up my left hand) on her during sex/foreplay. It’s been exactly a month since I had my first blister.
Would it be possible that a vesicle outlasts 2 all my other vesicles by 2 weeks? The “lone” small vesicle is still there even though all my other ones have scabbed over. My uncle who is an infectious disease doctor said this could be a blocked sweat gland that is posing as a herpes blister. It just looks so alike that I am scared.
When my skin is healed completely, and I get a cut on the same finger. Could the herpes virus shed from that finger? Or is it only during an outbreak?
Please let me know if I need to purchase more questions for this post as I exceeded my two follow up questions. Thank you so much.
