Herpes on her back?? (picture on page 5)

[Anonymous]

Update: she has a doctors appt at 3pm today with a dermatologist.



So my daughter has these weird bumps on her back. I can't figure out how to add the pictures to this without having to add it to my profiles photo album which I don't want. I'm a google whore and the herpes pics are scaring me. I know you can get them anywhere but your back?? How is that? Nobody in my house even gets coldsores. She goes to her dads for a few hours during the week and showers there before coming home. I found out recently that she uses a towel that him and his new wife uses. I don't know much about his wife seeing as she has never spoken to me so I don't know if she gets coldsores, rubs her face on the towel after showering and left it for the next person to use. I'm freaking out here. I'm calling the doctor tomorrow. Anyone have it in weird area's?

YES!

Quoting Zanny:

it might be shingles

you can still get them, even if you've had the Chicken Pox Vaccine

Quoting Anonymous:

She's had the vaccination and it's in a small area.

Quoting kamrynlily07:

Could they be chicken pox?

Chicken pox is a herpes virus, and shingles. You can get those anywhere and you never get rid of the virus: it lives in your nervous tissue.

Doesn't look like herpes to me.  Maybe "backne" or acne on the back?  Is that where her bra normally sits?  Perhaps she needs measured for new bras.

I know when my bras start to get worn or when my size changed I would get irritation around the straps or band.  I'm thinking that might be part of the problem, since it is top and bottom with what appears to be an inch gap between them...just like on either side of a bra strap.

Oh wow...
The more you know, I guess. Lol

You can get it anywhere.  After my son was born, he was taken into the NICU - the stress from all of that made me break out from my mouth up to my cheek.  It wasn't pretty.

Quoting Wifeyy2Lette:

I didn't even know you could get herpes on your back...

I thought you could only get it on eyes, mouth and genitals.

(No, I'm not very educated about it)

The medical name for shingles is herpes zoster. So, if she is looking for Google images of "herpes", she will get images of shingles which many pics could be of people's backs.

Quoting Anonymous:

Shingles or herpes? She is making it seem like the ex wife has herpes and because she uses her towel that is how she got them! Lol that is insane

Quoting TrouserMouse:

 So, you are saying a little cluster of sores to the side of the midline of the back cannot possibly be shingles?

Quoting Anonymous:

Here comes trouser mouse to save the day lol. It's not herpes, this post is as ridiculous as a TROLL post. Why can't you see that?

Quoting TrouserMouse:

 There are different types of herpes. Ever heard of herpes zoster? I bet you have. Look it up.

LOL. how can someone I dont know offend me? but Im glad you think you did.and oh you posted ONE link which doesnt mean jack.OMG and having to resort to swearing? really mature.what I posted does NOT get others judged lol.she asked a question did she not? she thought it may be herpes did she not? many things online say that herpes can be spread. the genital kind cannot of course but other kinds can.Also you can get cold sores which are a type of herpes by drinking after someone,using their lipgloss.chapstick,etc.as for your screenname I didnt say I would do anything about it but at least If Im going to call someone out and be ignorant I would use my screenname and not hide behind anonymous.but thats me.oh I know you do it so you can argue with people and they cant block you because it seems like you love to cause drama.

Do carry on if it makes you feel better about yourself and helps you to sleep at night. you arent worth arguing with. have a nice evening if you can.

How can you get herpes?

Can you get herpes from drinking after somebody? Can you get herpes from sharing towels? From sharing bathwater? Can you get herpes from blood? Can you get herpes from toilet seats? The clear and resounding answer to all of these is simply NO.

You can get herpes only from skin-to-skin contact. You can get herpes even when there are no visible signs of herpes on the skin. It’s known as “viral shedding.”

I do educate myself maybe you should use your real name before you try calling someone out and basically calling them a liar or saying they are wrong

never ever use a towel someone else has used you can get all kinds of things from sharing towels. so yeah its possible she can get herpes on her back from an infected towel.(I looked it up) not to mention other things.

cold sores are one strain of herpes there are many other strains out there.take her to a Dr.

no she can not get herpes from a towel, please educate yourself better, before you tell others this wrong information

That is not herpes. It's likely an allergic reaction.
