Those are two completely different strands of herpes…you cannot get genital herpes from someone with cold sores. You should look into you information before providing advice to others that will act to scare them.
I get these from time to time as well and used to freak out before I realized it always coincided with menstruation and pad use (aka extra moisture in that area). I always just apply some neosporin and gently squeeze the pus out and it usually goes away by the next day. Loose clothing and dry skin are definitely the way to prevent this.
could itching be a side affect ?
You guys are awesome. Thank you so much. I love the internet...it gives you options, provides information, and exposes you to things you didnt even know you didnt know!
I am 45 years old, have an occasional sex life with a single partner, and have just got what I now believe may be a Bartholyn Gland cyst for the first time.
I will go and get it checked out - but very relieved to learn that there is not just one conclusion to be drawn here!
