I am 54 and never had genital herpes. I did have genital warts 30 years ago. I have been married for 20 years but we have not hade sex in a year. I recently broke out with what I think looks like herpes. But because of my back ground I can't believe it could be. Is it possible? I tried using Domeboro for this. Should I be?
Thanks,
Karen
The only way you'll know is to go to the Dr. , from things that I've learned, the herpies virus can lay dorment for many years and all of a sudden (sometimes due to high stress levels, low immune system) the virus can suface. Just get to a Dr. get tested, maybe its warts like you said, but really hun, its better to be safe. Even if its to protect you husband...
