How do you know the difference between Genetal Herpes and Shingles?

Question

I have both - both itchy and painful. I haven't had an outbreak for a VERY long time. I had shingles when I was 15 (a small patch on my stomach) and now it seems I might have them again. I have a small patch of liquid blisters on my very lower back (right hand side)... it accellerates faster than people say shingles does but the pain runs down my legs to my feet. This is uncommon with genetal herpes. I have heard of genetal herpes popping up around the thy and butt region. I'm a little confused. Can anyone help me out? Thank you!

Thanks for the answers guys :) I know shingles fairly well because it was very rare for me to have them in the first place. There isn't much a dr can do but give you pain medication. Thanks again.

Answer 1

Ok, first of all in anyway u need to se a doctor and he will tell you for sure.
But just to give you some information. Hepres And Varicella Zoster are very closely retated virus, they are forme the Herpes viridae family.
Shingles are the Varicella virus (yes the pox) that remain in ur nerves. They generally can be diagnosed because they run through dermatomes, that is the path the nerves show trough the skin. Theres a dermatome that goes fromm the butt to the foot., so it can be it. Genital herpes only appear in a small area and doesnt have the burning pain shingles have. You MUST pay attention o this and have it checked. Shingles are not tnormal in people as young as you and much more uncomon twice! un less they have another disease that can debilitate their imune system. Please go have a check up to make sure u dont have anoother problem.

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.

My best friend has had genital herpes for about eight months now, and it's been really rough. She's had about 7 outbreaks. Everywhere I read it says it stops flaring up so much after time, but its not getting less frequent for her. She's been on Antiviral meds the whole time, too. She also has type 1 diabetes which she has had her whole life, which really weakens her immune system. Will it ever get better?

But after a friend share this video everything has changed.

Sounds like shingles to me. See your doc to get some treatment for it and get some tagamet at the store to help too. My girlfriend had shingles on her buttocks almost two years ago and now has them in the peri area so they can easily be shingles but get them checked by the doc and get some medicine to help shorten the duration of them etc.
