Reply To: Herpetic Whitlow

Hi Terri,

Thanks so much for your response. Just so you know, I purchased another round of follow-up questions.

I’m so happy to hear this! If the skin around my fingernail is too thick to shed asymptomatically, can the same be said for my pubic area (not my penis or testicles, but the area around there?). Also, would you be willing to direct me to some of the papers that have been published on the topic of skin being too thick for virus to shed asymptomatically? I trust your advice, but would like to further educate myself on the topic. Moreover, my physician says that herpetic whitlow can shed asymptomatically, and it would be nice to show him something that suggests otherwise. I hope this is an okay thing to request!

Thanks for everything you do
