StupidSexyV⚠der
MY MOUTH HURTS
StupidSexyV⚠der
AT LEAST IT DOESN'T LOOK BAD
StupidSexyV⚠der
But yeah I needed to stop off and buy that expensive as shit aberva this morning.
StupidSexyV⚠der
FUNNILY ENOUGH
StupidSexyV⚠der
we all get 'fever blisters'
StupidSexyV⚠der
aka: herpes II generally
StupidSexyV⚠der
BUT
StupidSexyV⚠der
little sister has some type on her cheek, it's not II or I, it's not shingles (tho we did check that despite her being 15 at the time), but some kind?
StupidSexyV⚠der
And ma has one that hits every so often that also isn't one of the three
StupidSexyV⚠der
where did they come from?
StupidSexyV⚠der
we don't fucking know
StupidSexyV⚠der
but i'm very NO TOUCHY when they know it's coming because FUCK THIS
StupidSexyV⚠der
Ma has gotten those blisters in her arm pit
StupidSexyV⚠der
they were baaaaaaad
StupidSexyV⚠der
BUT MOSTLY MY MOUTH HURTS AND I'M MAD
Faramond
Huh? Canker sores? In the mouth? That's treated as a normal child thing here though. A home remedy is putting some powdered alum (otherwise used as an underarm antiperspirant) on the sore to dry it.

It hurts like hell though, especially when putting the powdered alum.
StupidSexyV⚠der
Not canker sores no
StupidSexyV⚠der
these are blisters that occur on the lip line and are very very contagious
ColorOfBOOM
/hugs. My husband gets them. They look like they really hurt. They pop up when he's really stressed.
Faramond
Hm, that's a different thing, huh? I was thinking of what we call here as "singaw". Double-checked it and yeah, it's "canker sores".

I've always thought those two (herpes simplex and canker sores) are one and the same. Huh, TIL.

I hope it gets well soon tho.
StupidSexyV⚠der
ColorOfBOOM : yep, stress causes flare ups
StupidSexyV⚠der
Faramond : a lot of people don't know the difference!
StupidSexyV⚠der
but thanks
StupidSexyV⚠der
RIGHT in the corner of my mouth too
ColorOfBOOM
Eee, that's where things stretch
StupidSexyV⚠der
yep
StupidSexyV⚠der
I mean they always suck? but that area is BAD
ColorOfBOOM
Ya especially
StupidSexyV⚠der
yeah. /cranky
Faramond
StupidSexyV⚠der : That's kinda scary. When you think it's just a canker sore and it's okay to just go on and kiss whoever you like, when you're actually spreading a disease that can at the very least cause a lot of inconvenience...

Not to mention people eventually... Okay, I'm gonna stop here before I expose the limits of my medical knowledge. (LOL)
Faramond
(but really, does that mean you can, theoretically, cause genital herpes by doing oral sex? (unsure))
Luke Skywanker
There's a reason it's so prevalent. No shame there!
Luke Skywanker
But yeah, man, that sucks. I hadn't even thought about parents passing it.
StupidSexyV⚠der
Faramond : YEP. used to be assumed all oral herpes was II but that's really not the case
StupidSexyV⚠der
Luke Skywanker : it's actually the most common way of transmission!
StupidSexyV⚠der
but yeah no shame. just don't kiss babies when it's active
Luke Skywanker
I also meant no shame in not knowing. If it was easy, it wouldn't be everywhere.
StupidSexyV⚠der
this is also true
Luke Skywanker
The more you know, etc etc
StupidSexyV⚠der
yep
Faramond
Indeed, but for potentially dangerous cases like this, I wouldn't be proud not to know. :-))

And actually, assuming that it's herpes II would be safer than assuming it's a canker sore, in many ways. But then again, knowing is far better.
StupidSexyV⚠der
yep. you have to be careful because you can spread them to yourself. like touch your mouth, wipe your eye. that can blind you
StupidSexyV⚠der
so
Faramond
Ack. (fuu)

That's scary! I was just thinking about how funny it'd be sharing over a few beers about how you got your (genital) herpes through a blowjob, but that just ... IDK.
StupidSexyV⚠der
yeeeeeah. I mean. It's really common and shouldn't be a big deal (didn't used to be, until there was good viral suppressant and then the company ran a smear campaign but that's a whole other issue) but common doesn't mean harmless.
Faramond
It's still a big deal here, any sexually transmitted disease actually. But that's the thing, I don't think people here makes the connection between genital herpes and oral herpes--or even know that oral herpes is a thing (I know, but I'm far from a typical person from this part of the world).

That's what makes it dangerous, imho.
StupidSexyV⚠der
yeah it does
Crow Witch
that sucks im sorry hugs
StupidSexyV⚠der
thanks hugs
