Genital Herpes first outbreak, now feels like bugs crawling

I have the same exact symptoms and the Drs have no idea what is it to treat it. It's unbearable. Have you found a relief or cure?

You can read the whole story for a more thorough understanding but here are the pain relievers that worked for me:
- Put an ice pack (or bag filled with ice) - in/on the places you're most itchy or anywhere that you are feeling the pain.
- Try not to think about it - Just continue what you are doing. (I know it might sound stupid but trust me, it does help)
- When your alone or whenever aand you don't have ice or any cold item - Place your hand on top and hold your vagina. (you might not want to do this in public, but it does help)
- Be active and move - especially your hips or legs. (Go running/jogging or maybe just dance around, just get up offa dat thang)
- Make sure to see a doctor immediately - Preferably a female, as they have more knowledge and understanding of the vagina. (Sorry male doctors)
- Don't worry so much - It might just be something simple such as a UTI (Urine Tract Infection) or using soap down there and MOST LIKELY something not harmful to your body or lady parts.
- Don't use soap, fragrances down there, Your vagina is sensitive and soap, perfumes, fragrances, cream can all be irritants. Most females feel as if they have to really clean their vagina and spray or apply products for hygiene or smell, but you are actually irritating it and disrupting the PH balance. Your vagina naturally cleans itself inside your body with discharge, so don't think it is bad to have discharge (it is like urine to clean your system from toxins). Just water is good to clean your vagina with, but you can use small ammounts of soap, try to use products like vagisil or other products that are "PH-friendly". You can even you normal soap but not in large ammounts, very lightly, and rub your vagina softly. ;)

Remember the vagina is a sensitive part of the female body and can easily get an infection. But cleaning your vagina with irritating soaps or hygienic products can actually increase the likeliness of getting an infection or feminine hygiene problems.


MY VAGINA EXPERIENCE :)
I have/had the same problem with a very itchy vagina and body, but I am a virgin and 16 years old. I was travelling with my mum to a different country for vacation and then three weeks later when we are coming back, I suddenly have painful itchy sensation around my vaginal area (incuding anus) we were in the airport going to go on the plane back home and because of that we couldn't have a shower, so my mum and I thought it might be because of that. I go and clean my vagina, it was okay for a fewe seconds then comes back. The itchiness was not dissapearing. I was crying from the anoying pain (not so much hurting me just really f*****g annoying). My mum considered and asked me if we should skip the plane and go to a doctor (We were having financial problem and didn't want my mum or family buying another ticket, plus I just wanted to go home, because I thought it might stop if I do) I just kept my legs together. My mum told a female flight attendant that I had itchy pains. I was sitting on the plane in pain, crying with people looking at me concerned. Luckily, the flight attendant gave me some ice in a plastic bag wrapped up into another bag and I just put in my legs right between my vagina lips. The pain wasn't hurting much. I was happy, I was actually able to get some sleep and watch some films without feeling anything at all.

Once we got of the plane and got our luggage, it came back then I went into the car (for an hour to get home), but the wasn't too bad, so I just rested. The pain was spreading to my legs, back, neck, arms, etc. Then for a few days, almost a weeks, I continued to have the pains, but it was slowly decreasing. Everyday I put a ton of ice packs, even just ice in a sandwich bag to cool it and IT REALLY HELPED!! I was nervous to go back to school that the itching might happen again, but it didn't. What helped was just carrying on with my work and stuff. IF YOU FEEL THE ITCHINESS JUST TRY NOT TO THINK ABOUT IT, that might sound stupid but it actually helps. Just like how I don't get cramps at all (well I never did) but my mum would tell me to "stay active and don't think about it" and so I have done that with all physical medical issues I have (but only as a pain reliever, I actually think and go see the doctor and get a prescription or medication for it). Now I rarely have any pain, only sometimes a slight itch, but I just don't think of it, and now I don't need to use an ice pack at all.

P.S. All information is right up the top, read more for simplfied detail on the pain relievers for this problem. Sorry for this crappy long message..

Good luck!!

Yes me too... The crawling and constant itching, thrumbing, and the marks in my panties. They checked for everything. I have HSV 2. My doctor did not believe me. But one day i told her my nose thrumbs everyday and when she touch my nose she could not believe it. She didn't know what to do so she did nothing.

Hi! I have EXACTLY the same thing on all you have described. Did you find out a cure and what it was?

I also have a feeling like something moving on my vagional area only on the outside ! Also head itches and get an occasional red bump on scalp , never had this until I came back from Mexico? Any ideas???

Have you figured anything else out?? I have found these "black fibers" that kind of look like hair but when I wiped with a set wipe, it looked as if it sank it's top half down into the wipe like it would be doing to the skin! Freaks me out so bad, I've been dealing with this for a month. I've had testing done for pin worms and the medicine and it was negative, with meds the feeling never went away but with a diet change it did get a little better. I have been so upset and depressed, My doctor is wanting to do a skin biopsy of the "taint"
I'm so scared!! I just want answers

Try vaginal anti itch creams. Or Monistat 7 day and put that on every day where it itches. It should help. Also Jason tea tree body wash. It helps. Free and clear laundry detergents and no dryer sheets. Only wear cotton panties.

Hi I have the same problem only not only crawling in the nether regions but in my nostrils and skin crawling allover body including my feet itch but in visible rash, doctors are pointless nothing shows up but I know different. Bottom has a crawling itch as well as my vagina sends me mad mist if the times. I have a boyfriend and we have not been able to be together in case he catch it makes me feel really down, so know the feeling. Also get crusty scabs towards the end if out break if Herpies symplex virus and also sores that are trying to scab and geal in my lips, not good. My lungs also have terrible infection in them too been sick for 4months and counting. I Hope you're feeling better than I. P.s. teatree body wash teatree deodorant and other product s help to ease the itch when you shower down there, hope this helps.

Antibiotics only and you be find

You mean antivirals!

YESSS , Has the problem gotten better ? Have you found any treatment for it ? ANY ADVICE

I think what you are describing is a mite infection, because they tunnel under the skin a little bit and leave blister bubbles. It is probably scabies. Some kind of rx permethring cream clears that up.

probably someone gave you scabies, because they are transmissable as an std and other ways. They can give someone a rash, and leave crusty spots on them (encrusted scabies). Also, they can make someone run a fever because they cause skin infections, and the mite bites themselves may be slightly poisionous because they are arachnids. Anyway, the doctor would give you permethrin cream for it. It's a pesticide.

Mariana I saw the black fibers moving as well. I think it may be some sort of parasite nerve worm known as herpes and believe me I feel them all over too

Sounds like you need to take a break from sex and let your body rest. Just be monogamous for awhile. But go and see a gyn and make absolutely sure you’re ok. Sorry you’re going through that.
