    What can cause or contribute to an outbreak:
    #1 SEX: sex creates friction. Use enough lubrication,
    #2 STRESS: Travel: creates STRESS; stress can add a condition to a breakout. Alcohol, different foods, body can go into shock, due to the changes. Stressors at the airport.
    #3 SUN: Exposure to the sun the UV rays come into our system, on one end it is good vitamin D, but UV rays can cause stress to oral herpes.
    #4 GROOMING: Shaving and waxing can help cause aggravation to that area. Rasor burn, can sometimes turn to an outbreak.
    #5 TRAUMA TO THE AREA. Trauma from riding a bike, horse back riding, or a Spin class, or rubbing wear, wardrobe lingerie. Or certain activities.
    #6 HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING: pushing your body too far lowers your immune system. So keep your body rested and healthy.

    Thanks for the info . I recently got an outbreak worst I had in 2 yrs . At first, I got sunburned and noticed the skin rash, but I paid no attention, and when for an intense 2 hrs workout .big mistakes my blood pressure was of the charts and dizziness came in I thought I was having a heart attack I went to get tested, and my herpes numbers were off the charts . I learned my lesson

      Herpes affects the nervous system only. Certain food can bring it on too. Caffeine and corn and foods with yellow & white corn meal..corn fiber. Corn chips. Fried fish always has corn meal. Anything that causes your nervous system to move being upset and crying too. So staying calm is important.

    • @methatlovescats3602

    I was taping my mouth because I have sleep apnea. I had a herpes simplex outbreak for the first time in my life. I believe the process of taking the tape off irritated my skin. I have lots of mouth leaks without the tape but I am afraid now to tape my mouth. I don't know what to do now.

    I'm a male who was recently diagnosed with HSV-1 (G). If friction causes an outbreak, is it possible for an outbreak to last for only a few hours? I notice I've gotten a couple red dots on my penis when masturbating since my diagnosis, but these dots go away within a few hours. My doctor couldn't explain this.

    • @lifewithherpes
      @lifewithherpes  ปีที่แล้ว

      It probably can, but we cannot say what you experienced. The only way to really determine if this was an outbreak would be to get a swab test when the dots are active - not when they already disappeared.
