Should I Be Concerned About The Itching In The Pubic Area After Diagnosed With HSV?
I was diagnosed with hsv type 1 Sept 6th had my first outbreak and it cleared up. Today I have a rash all over outside of my vaginal lip only in the hair area but its all over and itchy like crazy. This is nothing like my outbreak a few weeks ago. I don't have insurance but is this worth an er visit?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
As you had a outbreak of HSV 1 infection previously which is known to affect the area around the mouth.
As you are having itching around the genital region, there are many conditions which can lead to this problem and one of the cause may be HSV 2 but it should be confirmed by physical examination by your doctor.
I would suggest you to undergo physical examinations before you take any medications.
Thank you.
