I Have What Look To Be Sores Or Blisters Right Above My Pubic Hair. What The Hell Could This Be

Blisters keep appearing in my pubic region? HELP?

It sounds like textbook herpes honey. Razor burn and razor bumps wouldn't scab over like that and appear in bunches. Keep in mind that herpes is a disease transferred by skin to skin contact, not sexual intercourse. You need to see a doctor asap!
In the meantime, keep your hands very clean. Wash thoroughly after touching the area or your will spread it further through your genital region.
You said at first there was one and now there are about 8. That's what I meant by bunches. Are they painful? If not, then it may not be anything serious. It could be a rash from a new detergent or new panties made from material you are allergic to. You should still see a doctor.

If a boy kisses a girl lips, will she get pregnant?

Can a girl become pregnant if a boy kisses her on her lips? Any type of risk like pregnancy, death?The naivete shown by this question really reminds some of us who have survived adolescence of how little we knew and how timid we felt about our first attempts at intimacy. It also suggests what a good thing it would be if the schools would offer some purely academic instruction in such things as puberty and human biology.Help reverse infertility: How To Get Pregnant FastPregnancy can be caused only when the sperm fertilises the egg and by no other means, irrespective of the manner it makes way to the egg. However, kissing on lips or anywhere else cannot make a girl pregnant.No, a girl can not become pregnant from kissing. However, keep in mind that when you are exchanging a kiss you expose yourself to the possibilities of cold sores (which are blisters that can form inside or outside the lip area), herpes (a disease that will never go away and you will be stuck with it forever but this is rare), and falling sick.Kissing can not lead you directly to pregnancy or death. Kissing can spread germs between the two people and lead to mono, herpes, or other things like strep throat or cold sores. At no point can or will kissing directly impregnate you or cause any severe effect such as death.Technically it is not possible but ancient society concerned that it could lead to a pregnancy. So they threatened the younger generations to restrain from having relationship before marriage. It also makes sense that it could help reduce the teenage pregnancy. Health classes in middle and high school should focus on these issues.A girl cannot get pregnant if a boy kisses her on the lips. In order for one to get pregnant, a sperm cell needs to unite with an egg ( which is impossible to happen if you’re kissing ) .

How long can the herpes virus stay "undetected" in the body. When can an STD test safely rule out the absense?

Most people with herpes have no symptoms at all. So if by "undetected" you mean "symptomless" then the answer is - forever.

I've put a link to a page about herpes testing on my fave herpes website. The relevant portions is "For the most accurate test result, it is recommended to wait 12 - 16 weeks from the last possible date of exposure before getting an accurate, type-specific blood test in order to allow enough time for antibodies to reach detectable levels."

There is some important info in there. For example, request a type-specific test. Most people (50% to 80% of adults) have HSV1, so expect it to be positive for that. It's HSV2 that you are probably worried about.

The second thing to know is that you can get either virus (HSV1 or HSV2) in either place (orally or genitally). So you could easily catch HSV1 genitally, not realize it, and assume that a positive HSV1 test means ORAL herpes, and be wrong.

Finally, know that most standard STD screenings don't include herpes. You'll need to ask for it specifically.

Hope this helps.

Herpes, Hives or Mosquito Bites?

Let me preface this by saying that I am not currently, nor have I ever been, sexually active. That being said, over the last day or so, I've developed a few random bumps on my arm. 2, to be precise, with one other possibility on my inner thigh [which might be gone by now]. The one that I just found itches and feels like a mosquito bite, it's located on my upper arm. The one that I've had since yesterday is about two inches above my wrist (on the same arm) and at first glance looks just like a reddish/pinkish blotch, but when you touch it it feels slightly raised. When pressure is applied to that one, it also feels slightly tender. I've taken pictures of these two bumps, and I've come here in search of some theories or answers as to what the heck is going on with my arm.

My reason for thinking it might be herpes related is that my boyfriend was diagnosed with it, and we always try to be careful (ie: no sex), and no skin sexual skin to skin contact.

Above my lip burns and has dead skin? what is it and how do i get rid of it?

It sounds like what I have. It is called ceberiec (sic) dermatitis. You need to go to a dermatologist and get some sort of cream. Another suggestion is to wash your face with soap a few times a day. It is a strange situation, it is dry, but moisture itself will not help it. The cream I have (a nizoral based cream) dries it out more, but it works. It is like a form of dandruff on your face.
That is the best I can do with the limited info you have given and my lack of a full knowledge of your history. The best thing to do is go to a dermatologist, they will know for sure and be able to help you. It may be a long term thing though.
BTW-It could be a form of herpes, but before you freak out, understand that chicken pox and shingles are also a form of herpes--herpes zorster.
Good luck!

How Do I Cope With Life After Rape and Herpes?

it's not too late!!
rape has a statute of limitations of 5 years
so if you wait 5 years then it will be too late, but it's not right now!
go report it to the police!
even if he says it was consensual, juries usually side with the victim
and if people knew what really happened then maybe they would stop giving you the dirty looks and give them to the guy
it kinda sounds like you knew the guy since people know about it and he's telling them it was mutual
but why are they giving you dirty looks if they don't know you have herpes?
are they only giving them too you because they know you had sex?
it seems that if everyone is calling you a whore, that would be more incentive for you to go to the police because then everyone would know it's wasn't your fault
and if you can't afford a lawyer then just report it to the police and you never know, they may be able to provide you with a lawyer
i don't know where you live, but in houston there is this program that my mom works for where people can get free law advice if they don't have a lot of money
it's called houston volunteer lawyers program (HVLP)
so maybe you can look on the internet or in a phonebook to see if you have something like that in your city
but please, whatever you do, do not kill yourself!!!
nothing, i repeat nothing, is worth killing yourself over!!
you are not powerless!
speak up for yourself!!!
these days they have medicines that can reduce outbreaks
and yes you can still get married!!
you just need to find a mature, sweet guy who doesn't care and loves you for you
maybe you mom doesn't listen because she doesn't want to deal with the fact that her daughter has herpes and wants to pretend like nothing ever happened and everything is normal
talk to her and ask her why she won't listen and tell her how much it hurts you that she won't listen
i really really hope everything works out for you and please please please do not kill yourself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you'll get through this!!!

What was the most sexist thing that has ever been said to you?

“Men. They can’t even tolerate a little pain..”This was what a female pharmacist told me when i was desperately in need of pain killers because i had shingles and a nerve was hurting like it was on fire!(For those who don’t know, anyone who has caught chickenpox will have the virus in them permanently and can manifest as shingles later on in life, affecting a single nerve in their body. Your skin becomes inflamed and you get nasty little blisters on the skin above the nerve.)Unfortunately when i was diagnosed, my doctor for some really odd reason didn’t prescribe me any painkillers and I stupidly believed the doctor who told me anti-viral tablets (these did work but over a period of days), calamine cream and paracetamol would work.This was in the morning. Fast forward to 9pm that night and i could not even lie down because of how much the blisters hurt! I go down to pharmacy (unfortunately dressed in tracksuit bottoms, T-shirt and looking like an addict) and to ask if they have anything stronger than ibuprofen/paracetamol, but they say they cant give me anything stronger without a prescription! Fortunately I live in the UK and there is a phone service where you can phone a helpline for non emergency services and they could even get a doctor to prescribe medication and fax it to the nearest pharmacy.So after about 45 minutes I’m still at the pharmacy waiting for the doctor's fax to arrive (all the while in excruciating pain!) And I just so happened to ask the pharmacists if my prescription has arrived. They say “no” and ask me to wait a bit longer. Then one of the pharmacists, a woman, turns to her colleague and tells her “Men… they can’t even tolerate a little pain!” (While I was standing in front of her!!).It took every ounce of patience I had to not retaliate rudely. Also I just wanted to get out of there as soon as I got my meds.For someone in the medical profession I believe she could have been a bit more sympathetic to someone in pain!Moral of the story: Sexism sucks and women can be very sexist too!

What are some slang terms used among police officers?

The most derogatory terms for the bad guys and citizens who are just pains in the rectum:A.H. = Adam Henry (A-dam H-enry) If you don’t get it…..sometimes you will hear it as “Jack Hole”…..now what starts with an “A” that ends with HOLE ?RICHARD CRANIUM= What starts with a “D” and is a nickname for Richard ? What is the non-medical layman’s term for the Cranium ? Do these clues HEAD you in the right direction ?
