Hi doc I recently went to the doc, she prescribed me valtrex but not definite diagnosis of herpes, I’ve only had one partner in my life idk what to do
How can u treat these with over the counter medication? Or creams
I remember in the 1970’s book we had in school said herpies were complex and acne was simplex must be how the language changes
What are your thoughts on the clinical trials and potentials cures being discussed and developed ?
In our generation we live in today? Do you think we’ll ever see a cure for Genital Herpes or only just the antiviral medications to help get our life’s back on track
Thanks I finnaly not extremely worried if I have it, thanks for letting me know I dont
No worries! Don't forget to follow up with a doctor though if you have any concerns
@@DrLane I won't, I did a little more research and its just whiteheads, how in the world they got there idk. But I feel it was a good idea to find out if I had herpes at my age (13)
Honestly yall if you have it don't feel bad it's not your fault ...it's also not the end of your love life ...just take your medicine it really helps and it's affordable so far ...the medicine will help you from spreading it and having outbreaks may need to up ur dose some days or if your going to be sexual take a extra dose and make sure you have no sores ...but that's kinda hard for women cause yall have internal ...but ya for anyone who read this and have it don't be sad it's not your fault some one gave it to you ... just get the meds
Hey doc, I noticed some blisters , but it’s not itchy do I need a check up too to know why I am having such ? I am worried
Hello Dr. I have experience both of these herpes, but I do take too much of Antibiotics I don't know if it has anything to do with that
If I was exposed to it just yesterday, is there a emergency pill I could take to prevent it from spreading to my whole body?
What if I don't have pain, or fever? I have blisters and Swollen gland on my groin. I got them after 16 days but isn't it too long? Many people convince me it's jock itch.
Well checks all 😮 just came here to see if the doc could be wrong
I am not even sexually active and I have this all of a sudden. On the head of my genital, so strange.
Please doctor, is there any cream that can be use on thr boil?
Hey Oshama, if you are going to use anything I suggest betadine or something like that
Hey doc i have had a recent encounter with a partner and we had oral sex nothing more and the same night i started to feel a little bit tingly down at the tip my gentials and there is a feeling of inflammation im not sure but there is no pain while i pee. Could herpes sumptom start to show directly after exposure?
Hello doctor...i have a swallowen tonsils so i have a fear of STDs so i do some tests like chalmiya gonnoriha and syphilis but these three comes negative so i have a fear of that the swallowen tonsils caused by herpes what's your thought doc??
Hey doctor, I was diagnosed with a yeast infection and did all the STD screens except hsv. All came back neg but after taking the medicine i stil had a rash and itching. The rash is in both labias and itch but no ulcers and I got another round of diflucan. Could it be herpes? I’m not pregnant and I tested negative for HIV
Hi Danielle, it doesn't sound typical for herpes but if you are worried, I would suggest you get it checked by a health professional. They should be able to take a swab for HSV
Hey doc, never had an issue before but I have white sores on my clitoris (No where else) no redness except where I’d been itching, itchiness, feeling like I need to pee often and burning with that pee. No unusual discharge
Hi Jeydon, it might be worth checking out some information on thrush - commonly presents with white spots and itching. I’d get it checked by a health professional if you’re not sure
New subscriber! You’re so informative!
Awesome! Thank you for watching!
After expsoure in how many days should we test for herpes and hsv please suggest
Hi doctor I got testicle pain that comes and gose one blister below my testicles not on my testicle
Hi, probably best to get it checked out if you can make an appointment with a health professional? Testicular pain might be something different, but herpes can cause blisters
I just have a blister that looks like a herpes and I do get fever but not very frequent, but I don't have other symptoms mentioned in the video. I'm scared to go to the doctor as I don't have anyone to go with. Do i have herpes??
Hi! Unfortunately I can’t say for sure, but if you have a blister / ulcer on the genitals it’s always best to get it checked. I know it can feel daunting going to see a doctor, but remember this is what we do and our goal is to help. Good luck and hope it all works out :)
Herpes 1 postive i have i have urine symptoms like urgency burning frequency its herpes virus causes or something pls relpy me
Plz dr .is there a definitive traitement fir génital herpès and is there a promising vaccine in 2022
Hi Adam, no vaccine for HSV at this stage and nothing that can eradicate HSV permanently from your system, but there is treatment for for people who get outbreaks. Check out the TREATMENT section at this link:

Hey doctor I have none of the bumps or rashes, but I woke up with a painless bump in the pubic area and just recently got the pus out and it’s gone down. Can you shed a little light on this please?
Hey doctor 👋🏻
So a little over a year ago I had a bump on my outer labia. It was super itchy. My clitoris was super itchy too. I thought maybe the bump was an ingrown hair. I would squeeze it so hard. Clear fluid would come out. So I scheduled an appt with the gyno and she said it was herpes. But she didn’t swab it or anything. She just said that’s what it was and prescribed me 1gm of val. So I’m taking the val and the bump didn’t go away for almost a month. So now fast forward 14 months later I still have extreme itch on my outer labia and clitoris. Like it never went away. Not even the medication helped. It’s been constant. When I get itchy and scratch the skin will raise but it’s never been blisters. Is this really herpes or could it possibly be a misdiagnosis?
Hi JH! 14 months of constant symptoms doesn’t sound typical for herpes. You are quite right, without a swab it’s not possible to give a definitive diagnosis. If I were you, I’d seek a second opinion - possibly even from a dermatologist. Hope that helps!!
Hey doc, I have the lesions but never had any pain or any other symptoms. Could it be something else?
If you have any lesions it's best to get them checked. There are lots of things that cause lesions on the genitals and it can be difficult to tell the difference, but a doctor or health professional should be able to give you a diagnosis
what about a vesicle below the butt cheek is tht a sign?
Do you mean around the top of your leg? Probably not
I had full std testing that came back negative but they didn’t test for herpes. My penis is feeling a little weird but I don’t see anything. I suffer from anxiety and I’m extremely paranoid that I have herpes. No pain or discharge and no lesions as far as I can tell. When I pee slight irritation no pain and my penis tip feels numb. Can you help do u think the herpes outbreak about to start?
Hey mate, firstly it’s really common to feel stressed about this stuff. Good thing is that STI testing came back negative. As for whether it could be a herpes outbreak, I can’t say for sure but in general people might get tingling for up to 24 hours before they develop ulcers. If you haven’t got any sores, pain or if this has been going on for weeks, sounds less likely to be herpes. Of course, this is general advice so if you are unsure best to speak to a health professional directly
Does herpes cause fertility issues in men? If so is it serious?
Good question. No, herpes doesn’t affect fertility in men or women, the only issue is when pregnant women suffer an outbreak just before giving birth because it puts the baby at risk if they have a vaginal birth
@@DrLane hmmmm. I heard looking on Google it may potentially lower soerm count
Do you want to share the link and I'll have a look?
Hey doc, what do think about the Fred Hutch and molecular scissors technology to cure herpes that they are working on? Could this finally be the cure? Rather it's HSV 1 or HSV 2 and the location, I'm sure everyone is desperately wanting this to be available as soon as possible
Great question - actually looking at doing a video on this shortly -will post the link here
I don’t have nothing like that just cut in the corners of my lips a small burn feeling in the buttom of my lip what can it be
What else can cause you to have small clear vessiles
Hello doc my question is when can a person rule out a blood test after exposure if not symptoms are present ?
Hi there 😀 - unfortunately, blood tests for herpes are not very helpful. If you know you have been exposed to herpes, it's a matter of waiting to see if symptoms develop. If you get symptoms (such as sores) then get a swab ASAP to confirm the diagnosis.
Hi doc, I’ve been some symptoms the last week and a bit. It started off with what looked like an ulcer on my head under the foreskin which made me extremely worried but with no pain. The ulcer looks like it’s healing but idk if that’s me trying to convince myself it’s not something as serious as herpes or if it’s actually healing. Along side that in recent days I’ve been having red itchy bumps all over my head. None of these symptoms are outside in my penis or anus it’s all confined to under my foreskin. I’ve read a lot and have seen something called balanitis that kind of sounds like what I’m experiencing. I clean under my foreskin frequently but over the last two months I have had sex late and multiple times gone to bed without cleaning under my foreskin and instead going to sleep. I’ve booked an appointment with my GP but the fear still persists
Hello doc, how long after unprotected sex should I get tested for herpes to show?
Get tested after every single partner. Right away. Period. Symptoms or no.
I know someone who got HSV2 (genital Herpes) because their bf lied to them about being std free and tested negative…
It actually happened to me as well.. not HSV2 but yup someone said they were tested negative for everything since their last encounter… go to my doc right away and sure enough….
Hi Doc, I have a rash like this and it's occurs frequently and just dissappear after a week without no medication or cream added to it it occurs anytime I sit on a wet toilet seat I will get this rash but I don't have all the other sings you spoke about. Yes the rash will be warm and itching.I'm just seeing this and now am scared what would it be?
this rash occurs on the same spot what is causing it
Dr.Lane, Hello, can a person with genital herpes
HSV1 , infect a partner with oral herpes HS
V1, with genital herpes?
Hey there! Thanks so much. Please could you prescripe the treatment dosage to get? Like the names
Hi, it varies depending on whether you are taking medication for a flare up or for suppression of the virus. Some of the common regimes include valaciclovir 500mg, famciclovir 500mg or acyclovir 400mg :)
So If I see the cold sore in my mouth I have herpes for life?
Doc,Is herpes curable ?
Hey! I’d say it is manageable rather than curable, in that we don’t really have a way to eradicate herpes virus from your body completely but you can manage outbreaks with antivirals
Hello my sister has genital herpes, can I get it to if we share the same toilet and use the same towel so dry my hands I’m so scared.
Hi Sara, sorry for the late reply! Check out my video where I answer this question - th-cam.com/users/shortsQUqWJ8wJAhM
Hey doc there’s some small like pimples things not alot on my genital top they’re not itchy and don’t have any fluid in it and I’m still a virgin the question is can i have herpes without sexual intercourse
no.
If you’ve done Oral or had oral performed on you yes you can be at risk,,
If you’ve used the same dildo or sex toy as someone else with chlamydia you can be at risk
But if you are fully virgin,, no other experiences with anyone even no kissing (kissing someone with a cold sore transmits HSV1)
Oral yes yeah
Hi Dr. I was wondering if i could sign up for a herpes vaccine trial? ❤

i have little blisters on the skin area of my penis below the head, and 4 months ago i had a lymph node in my groin🤦🏻♂️ ive had the blisters there for years though and i hardly ever feel itchy, no pain tho, does that mean i have herpes?
Hey, might be best to get it checked to be sure. You can also check out my video on genital lumps and see if that gives you any answers - th-cam.com/video/jvjB-ChH2fM/w-d-xo.html
Hi got a question, I have an red itchy rash on me side of my inner labia it doesn’t blister , no fluid it’s not painful and I don’t have no other symptoms. It’s just itchy sometimes. My Nurse Practitioner says she thinks it herpes, she couldn’t even tell where it was I had to point at it for her to find. She didn’t swab it for testing. I’m anxiously still waiting for my blood test results to come back and I’m scared.
Hey got ur results back?wat was it
I want to know if having a break out around ur lip after a period is normal ? I took a blood work a yr and half ago it was negative I normally get it when I have heavy flows sometimes I don’t even get it at all. And another thing before I forget I got Blood work done Urine and papsmear test everything was negative at my GYNECOLOGIST this year as well idk if they test for herpes even my HIV was negative I also got my HPV vaccine jus in case.
Hey doctor,
About two months ago I had small red pimples on penis and got treatment for it but the skin of glans became sore it had redness on top of penis and now I am getting white liquid filled papules, it doesn't itch and I was getting pimples on body with yellow pus
If it might be herpes
Hey there! The best way to know if it is herpes is to see a health professional and get a swab. But from what you describe it could be a couple of things - such as balanitis (check out photos in the link below). Best to get checked if you are not sure though

Hi doctor, i have tested positive for igg hsv 1and i have noticed ulcers around my anus. Very few days after the exposure i felt like lost my libido and sex drive. I cant hard i have some researches and it cleary show that herpes can affect ED. what should i do.
Hey doctor, I have the understanding that we can get infected by genital herpes even if no lesions (sores, rash, etc.) are present, because the virus is present at skin level
Also I've read that having genital herpes makes easier to get HIV (even if no lesions are present) My question is:
What happens if I have the genital herpes present in my skin (but without lesions or symptoms,) and I have sex using condom correctly
are there higher possibilities of getting HIV if vaginal discharge falls in my scrotus (I repeat with no lesions but having the HSV virus present at skin level) ??
Second question: I have the understanding that the HSV is in incurable, sometimes it gets reactivated again in the future
While the HSV is dormant in my organism, are there higher possibilities of getting HIV when having sex (using condom correctly of course), or are they the same posibilities that when no having the HSV dormant in our organisnm?
Thanks
Hey there! Good questions. So firstly, you are correct - herpes transmission can occur without lesions being present. Condoms do help, but only in protecting the skin to skin transmission in the area that the condom covers - in other words, protects the penis. So technically, if the scrotum and the vulva have contact, there could be viral shedding through the skin and transmission could occur.
Secondly, herpes can lay dormant - you are correct - so it can reactivate and cause flareups from time to time. But antiviral therapy works well in this case and tends to reduce the severity of the flareups. Alternatively, people can take antivirals regularly for 6 months to see if they can suppress the virus so that future flareups are less likely.
hope that helps!!
Can you get genical herpes from sitting on a toilet
Hey doc, should antivirals be taken regularly or only when flare ups happen?
Hey there, actually either can work. Normally it depends on how often the flare ups occur and how severe they are. For example, if you only get a flare up every couple of years and it is mild, taking the meds as required might be a good option. But if you get flare ups more regularly - say a few times a year - then taking the antivirals for 6 months or more can help by suppressing the virus. Chat to a health professional if you are keen to find out more - they should be able to advise you :)
Hey doctor ,
I had some penile itching , and no blisters and no sores . I was diagnose with NGU . I’m now experiencing lower back pains . No other symptoms . Can this be herpes ?
Hello doc I have some bumbs and itching but my report say I have staphylococcus aureus
Hey doc. Never had an issue before but recently was with someone who happen to be a tight fit and was in pain as soon as I finished like a rip. They look like the second photo you shown as an example but I had them straight away and look more like friction burns. Is that more then likely the case? And can you transmit anything dormant to anyone with friction burns ?
Hey mate, yeah friction ulcers are a real thing. Sound like you might be on the money. But I'd get it checked if you are unsure.
I have these pimple like down there and I’ve had them since I was a child but I don’t get itchy and doesn’t hurt when I p . Can any help with what that could be
Also if u have hsv2 and give oral can they now get hsv1
hi doc, I had a paper cut like wound then it became a sore
Probably best to get it checked if you are not sure. Might be something else but best to see a health professional and get a swab if you can :)
Hey doc I recently had a vagina boil dat turned into a rash n I just wanted to kno watchu think it was
Hi doctor, so I scheduled an check up bc I have like a white foggy patch on my penis head , kind of close too the picture on 1:24 . I am worried but curious too what it is . Thank you
Hi, do you know how I can get a swab without parent consent ? I am 17.
Hey mate, it might depend where you live - are you based in the US? In Australia and most other countries in western hemisphere, age of consent is actually 16. Feel free to pm me on Instagram if you want some help finding a clinic near you - drlane.au
Good day doctor, i noticed that one day that i had several sores on my vagina because when i peed, my area burnt alot, I've been having thick clumpy white discharge and sever itching with it, before the sore appeared my partner and i have been having unprotected sex and oral sex, but we have no sores in or around our mouth, my partner had no sores but he got one a few days after we had sex when i had the sores, what could this be?
I’m not a doctor or pharmacist so please do some research, but it sounds very much like Candida / yeast infection.
It could be a couple of things so best to get a checkup if you have symptoms. Generally speaking, candida (thrush) can cause itching and thick white discharge, but there are other infections that can present similar.
hey doc, question so say that your partner has a out break of genital herpes but there are no cuts present on your fingers and you touch his penis anyway and before you can wash your hands and your touch your lips or face could it spread to your lips and or face ? and you already have hsv1, question 2, if you already have herpes hsv1 and you get genital herpes will you get an outbreak of genital herpes on the face ?
there is no visible sign of herpes on the hands or finger's
Hi, doc so I only have like 2 pimple that look alike to herpes on my genital, and all the other conditions that you said I can have isn’t happening on me, do you think the chance of me having it is high?
Hi doctor, i'm from philipines i was confuse and i dont know how to determind herpes or shingles, there are 5 bump to shiny like fluid on my genital part Compared to the image you shown us different.
Hi Ethan, shingles and genital herpes can present very similar - you probably need to have a swab to tell them apart. Best if you can go to a health centre to have someone give you proper advice. :)
Hi doctor, i have this small papercuts on my labia (sometimes around 6, and sometimes just 1), it happens almost every month, sometimes every 3 months. These papercuts on my labia heal after 2/3 days and itchy when they appear. Could it be herpes?
Thank you for your answer
Hi, herpes can present with sores on the labia but there are other things as well. Sometimes thrust (ie. candida / yeast infection) can also cause papercut-like lesions and can be itchy
Hi Doc! I just wanna know if Chlamydia can cause herpes as well? Quite curious about these topics?
Hey Sofia! Great question. They are two completely separate organisms - one is a virus (HSV) the other a bacteria. You can only get both if you are exposed to both. That said, we tend to see higher rates of concurrent infections - in other words, if you have a herpes infection and then you are exposed to chlamydia, you might be even more likely to contract the chlamydia infection than if you didn’t have herpes infection at the time of the exposure, but it’s probably a pretty minimal difference
We love you
Hey doc I actually had a moment where I was out the shower and decide to put lotion all over my body then next thing my private area started to burn and I checked and saw bumbs all on side of my penis but not the tip. And I was very worried but then I looked at the lotion bottle and it said do not use on private area but I didn’t see that at first. So doc I need help and I’m tryna understand what I’m going through 🙏🙏
Hey doctor, what do tell about the suppressive therapy with valocyclovir? I have a girl friend, she has hsv 2 like me, she told me that our body can get a strong strain of the hsv 2 virus if I continue to take the meds for the suppressive therapy, like, in another words, she meant to say that the suppressive therapy can screw my body system protection against the virus and makes the virus resistant, is that true?
Ps: I am still on suppressive therapy just because I don’t want deal with this stupid lesions on my parts, because hurts a lot!
Hi doctor, can herpes affect the bladder or urethra?
Hi, yes it can affect the urethra and the bladder. When it affects the urethra, there is normally a lot of pain to urinate. Bladder involvement is rare but certainly possible
Recently I got chicken pox but also have ulcer on Penile gland ...and it just looks like this
I have it on my legs for 7yrs how can i treat? 😢
What over the counter meds can i take
Hi, in some countries you can buy famciclovir over the counter. We also recommend general pain relief (eg. ibuprofen) which is typically over the counter
Hey question, I have pain inside my penis and it’s been happening now for almost 5 months. Got a std panel done and everything came out negative. Any idea on what it can be?
Hey Dominic, a bit hard to say. Is the pain in the urethra, or more in the shaft /head?
Hey, so i have this pimple, at least it looks like one that isnt ready to be popped, right above my penis. Its the size of a small marble. It's a bit painful, but only when i really poke at it, and even then it just feels like a pimple thag isnt ready. I'm kind of panicking right about now, and google is being about as helpful as a bent keyring. The thing is, i've been vaccinated for HIV, so i don't know what's going on.
So I have bumps on my shaft not like those though, also the tip of my penis is swollen and with small cuts around the forskin I’m unsure if this is herpes or possibly balanitis could you give me any advice on what it possibly could be?
Thanks!
Yeah all good found out what it was, I had the herps
Hey mate, sorry for late reply. Hope you are feeling better!
Hi Dr. I recently noticed some rash on my penis and can't say for sure what it is. I'm scared it could be herpes but I use condom all the time during sex. Is it possible to have genital herpes even when I use condom?
Hey Scott! It’s great you use condoms and that will certainly reduce risk, but unfortunately it’s not 100% protection. Herpes can be transmitted through skin to skin contact - including mouth to genitals - so condoms are never complete protection. But there are other causes of genital rashes the eye not herpes. Have you seen my video on lumps?
I have a burning sensation when I urinate but not from my urethra..Why is that?
Hi Doc, thanks for sharing so much. Does herpes in male affect infertility?
Hey there, no herpes does not cause infertility ❤️
Hey so I had majority of those symptoms. However I have one rash on the left side of my bartholin gland ( not even sure it’s a rash) that’s been in my genitals for 4 months and still hasn’t gone away. It looks kind of like raised skin in my vagina that has lines. Is this genital herpes or something else?
Generally speaking, a lump / lesion present for 4 months is unlikely to be herpes. Bartholin Cyst is possible, but best to get it checked by a health professional.
Hi doctor I think I might have herpes. Yesterday ( 31July 2023) white liquid came out of my private part. And I’m peeing a lot
Hi doctor, I would like to know any possibility for STI in received body massage from CSW women. No anal, vaginal and oral sex.
Am I screwed if I’ve waited longer than 72 hours?
Na man, just might be too late to start antivirals
Hey doc, it's been 6 days since intercourse, and I've developed a reddish bump on my buttocks. Could this be a possible std? I'm freaking out
A bit relieved. I have none of these sympthoms or sores. Not So much tho i guess i migth have syphylis? Wich is treatable and curable unlike herpes. 😊
Can you get it by an injury?
What can cause yeast like bumps/patches all around the penis head? Then after a red sore looking similar to herpes?
Hey! Maybe you are thinking of balanitis? Very common, not sexually transmitted. Have you checked out my video on lumps and bumps? Might be helpful - I’ve put a link below
th-cam.com/video/jvjB-ChH2fM/w-d-xo.html
Hey doc, I had it January this year. This was the ulcer kind but I didn't had any sexual contact. Can it spread without sexual contact
Right I’ve had a bump on my penis since January Wtf I gotta get tested hope everything is Well with me and others
Dr. I have red spots on the top of my penis does that means that I have herpes?
Not all red spots are herpes. Best to get it checked with your local GP to make sure!
You say commonly but could speak on atypical symptoms that aren’t vesicles?
Is it curable?
Hey doc question: recently kissed and had sex with someone with a cold sore. A few days later I have a hard bump on the middle of my bottom lip, a day after that I have a few painful white big bumps on my tongue. What’s this mean?
What was the early symptoms on the lip
Doc, i have a pustules on my pubic part and my testicle part and it creates a pus, making the around area swollen and painful. But i have no fever, swollen lymph nodes etch.
So i have a question doc i have something that look like herpes but all the symptoms you pointed out i had none of them so does this mean i have herpes or not plzzz tell me
Hey doc can herpes be a small single slightly red bump on the shaft
Hey there! The presentation of herpes can vary. I’ve seen cases where people only have a single blister or red spot, but often there are several. If unsure, I always swab them to check 👍
Hi doctor, I have a question. Can you get herpes from masturbation?
Hey mate, no you won’t get herpes from masturbating. 👍
Hi doctor ❤❤❤❤
What if u have no symptoms at all?
