Ive never had issues like this before but can’t seem to find any articles or information that would suggest bacteria would cause this much vaginal skin irritation at the vaginal opening and inner labia — concerned that maybe this is hsv1 triggered by sex- with just non stop outbreaks presenting as a raw red inflamed rash like- instead of obvious sores and lesions? It definitely doesn’t look like the images on google and isn’t following the timelines for herpes I’ve read. Dr said not to bother with the valtrex at this point and thinks that wasn’t the right treatment – so I stopped that June 5th – and he said he doesn’t do blood draws for HSV1 because most people are exposed as babies and it won’t help us here. He says without vagina lesions ulcers obvious sores he doesn’t recommend swabbing either because theres nothing to swab. He also said if it were herpes it would go away eventually and maybe return but that back to back to back outbreaks would be very rare and feels “almost positive” (he doesn’t like to say 100% positive for anything) it’s not herpes. Do you agree to rule out herpes and that this rash like raw redness and inflammation is caused by the recurring enterococcus and now Klebsiella bacteria? I am dealing with this for months and would love your brain on it. Side note – I am taking all great immune supplements and have been taking them religiously for 30 days – 3000mg (spaced out a day) lysine, vit c, E,A, omegas, NAC, Querectin, Vit D, probiotics, – drink green juice and eat healthy and work out. Nothing seems to be getting rid of it.
