Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, i went to the doctor today because i am in a lot of pain. He diagnosed me with Folliculitis but took blood to make sure it s not herpes. I have an open sore/ blister and it is SO painful, to the point where i am crying trying to urinate. I just sat in a tub for twenty minutes and still cannot because of the pain. The pharmacy is already closed and i don t know what to do. It is unbearable. What do i do?
If you have petroleum or a zinc based cream you can use these as barrier protection on the lesion. This would reduce any irritation that you feel as the urine passes over the area.
The zinc based creams can be found in many baby diaper barrier creams.
If neither of these an option at this time of the day then you can try using a gauze or clean tissue over the area to reduce contact during urination.
Oral anti inflammatory pain killers such as ibuprofen, naproxen, cataflam can be used to help relieve the pain.
I hope this helps
