Hmmm.....What do you think??

Question

Ok, I have this....thing...on my lip. I'm confused about it. I've been tested many, many times for anything and everything out there and have ALWAYS come back clean.

The thing is, I get these....things....on my lip a few times a year. It only happens on my upper lip, and usually around the same place. It's not huge or anything...it was my natural skin tone, it itched like hell and scabbed pretty quickly. I don't have insurance, so I went to the pharmacist. He told me that with all the information that I have provided him with, it was more than likely NOT herpes, but everyone else that I've talked to about it says it is. I've only been with 3 people sexually. I was a first to my first, and the second and third went with me and got tested before I would do anything with them. Everyone...including myself has always come out 100% clean. If I had herpes, wouldn't it show up on a test?

I don't want to hear "go to the doctor." No. Just want a few opinions.

Thanks.

Hi THere

It does sound similar to herpes or cold sores. Here are a few ideas to heal your condition.

Herpes refers to a class of viral infections of both a sexual and nonsexual nature. There are actually over 70 different types of herpes, all of which are caused by one or more herpes viruses. Overall, herpes viruses are very common in the population at large. In fact, some health experts estimate that 90 percent of all Americans are infected by one or more strains of herpes virus.

Herpes viruses, once they gain a foothold in the body, can remain dormant for years before symptoms manifest, usually after being triggered by stress to the immune system. In addition, symptoms can come and go, and even when symptoms are no longer noticeable, it does not necessarily mean that the viruses have been eradicated.

Types of Herpes
Although there are more than 70 known herpes viruses, the two most common types of herpes are herpes simplex 1 (HSV1) and herpes simplex 2 (HSV2), or genital herpes. Herpes simplex 2 is a sexually transmitted disease, or STD, while herpes simplex 1 is often present in the body simply due to a weakened immune system, not as a result of sexual contact. Both types are very widespread among the population of the United States.

Cause
Herpes is caused by one of more than 70 infectious herpes viruses. Outbreaks caused by herpes are most often triggered by physical or emotional stress that suppresses immune function. Nutritional deficiencies can also increase the risk of contracting herpes.

Quick Action Plan for Herpes


1. Emphasize fresh, organic foods, with plenty of non citrus fruits and vegetables, complex carbohydrates, free-range, organic meats and poultry, wild-caught fish, and an abundance of pure filtered water.

2. Avoid all commercial, processed, and nonorganic food, as well as alcohol, coffee, sugars, artificial sweeteners, preservatives, food dyes, milk and dairy products, and wheat and wheat products.

3. Avoid all arginine-rich foods, including all nuts, sunflower and sesame seeds, coconut, chocolate, wheat and wheat byproducts, soy, lentils, oats, corn, rice, barley, tomatoes, and squash.

4. Be screened for food allergies.

5. Supplement with vitamin A, B-complex, vitamin B5, vitamin B6, vitamin C, zinc, adrenal glandular extract, quercitin, and the amino acid lysine.

6. Drink plenty of organic, fresh-squeezed carrot, celery and beet juice.

7. Apply salves of aloe vera gel or calendula cream.
Hot baths if you can tolerate them, followed with a short cold bath or sitz bath. Do this daily.

8. A useful herbal remedy for herpes is to combine tinctures of Echinacea, goldenseal, nettle and Siberian ginseng in equal measures. Take half a teaspoon three times a day to boost immune function.

9 Take precautions when you are in an outbreak to avoid spreading the virus to others.
To ensure you are following the most effective treatment plan, work with a qualified holistic health professional.

Best of health to you

Cheers

Answer 2

I got diagnosed with herpes virus (type 2) about four yrs ago, when I was still attending college and had a dumb one-night stand. I realize lots of people say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and all of a sudden I felt like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl who has sores around her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/K4iZd everything got better.

Not only was I able to clear away all remnants of the hsv from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a busy restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This program provided the chance to be happy and experience real love again. Now I hope that I can help others too by sharing this story.

They are fever blisters, aka..cold sores. They are technically a form of herpes simplex virus. I have had these through-out my life, since 5 yrs. old, and it doesn't have anything to do with being sexually active. However...be aware that they are VERY contagious. You can get lots of good over the counter meds for them, i'm surprised the pharmacist didn't give you better info.?! You do usually tend to get them in the same spot, start putting something on it the minute you start to feel it tingle or itch and then it won't hang around AS long. Hope this helped>they do suck!!!

Answer 4

Yes, I also think it's a cold sore. When you first get the sensation of it coming dab it with perfume or after shave or a bit of methylated spirits to attempt tp dry it out. I find with mine that they clear up faily quickly with the application of betadine gel in a tube. They are really a pain as they do keep coming back in the same place and can be bought on by stress. Take care not to touch it and then touch yourself (eyes included) without a thorough washing.

Answer 5

some people have natural reocurring sore outbreaks. they are a form of herpes but not the std herpes. there is not a medication to prevent them from coming but there is treatment for when they are active. Typicaly people see a pattern to them. For example some say they get them when there is a drastic change in weather, try to notice if you have a pattern and begin an over counter treatment at the begging to see if it improves.

Answer 6

Could be what is called a "cold sore". You can get over the counter ointments that will help heal it quickly. In the meantime, no kissing.
