I have some tenderness but no visible discoloring or rash around a patch of skin on my right upper thigh. This has been going on for about 5 days. After doing some internet research, I think I might be one of the millions of people who have some form of herpes but do not know it due to very mild, almost symptomless recurrences. I have linked my skin tenderness to a possible herpes infection but I can't find any hard information on a typical recurrence's duration. Does anyone know how many days a herpes recurrance lasts?

It's possible that you have genital herpes and just were never aware because your symptoms were so mild. A lot of people are unaware they have genital herpes because their symptoms are so mild or they don't get a "typical outbreak" like other people with genital herpes do.
Most reoccurring outbreaks can take anywhere from several days to several weeks to heal. It kind of depends on a few things, like how severe the outbreak is, if the person is taking medication for it, or how well the person's body is able to fight the outbreak.
The only for sure way to know if you have genital herpes is to get tested by your doctor. Good luck to you!

My fine buddy has had genital herpes for approximately eight months now, and it can be been rather rough. She's had about 7 outbreaks. Far and wide I learn it says it stops flaring up a lot after time, but its now not getting much less frequent for her. She's been on Antiviral meds the entire time, too. She also has kind 1 diabetes which she has had her entire lifestyles, which particularly weakens her immune approach. Will it ever get higher? However after a buddy share this video everything has changed. Natural dependable Herpes alleviation?

I got clinically diagnosed with herpes (type 2) about five yrs ago, whilst I was still in college and had a silly one-night stand. I understand lots of girls say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a massive mistake that one time and suddenly I felt like I was going to have to live with the implications for my entire life. The hardest part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores round her private parts? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/HsWQS everything changed.
Not only was I able to remove all remnants of the herpes virus from my system in less than 3 weeks, but I was also able to begin dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so lucky to write that just a week ago, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This method gave me back the chance to be happy and experience true love again. Now I want to help others too by sharing this story.

Calm down! Genital Herpes is not life threatening, in fact, it's just a virus
Take antiviral medication as prescribed by your doctor and use condoms, that will lower the risk significantly. And abstain when you have a outbreak.
it's not true that the virus is only active in the first 12 to 24 hours. It's active as long as you have visible sores and you may also have periods of no symptoms where the virus is active.

First of all, you want to get tested to find out if you actually have herpes b/c you can still spread it to someone else even if you have no symptoms. Also, then you can get a prescription for acyclovir or vacyclovir. But an outbreak usually lasts for around a week, and normally doesnt last longer than two weeks. But go to your doc ASAP and get tested, you don't want to give it to someone else and cause them intense pain when you dont have to.
