is my herpes outbreak gone or lingering?

Hi all! haven't been on for a couple weeks-- was super busy with the holidays and family and all that.

I've been wondering about something.. I had my first and only (so far) OB about a month ago, it lasted a little over 2 weeks and was pretty mild (only 2 small sores). I've noticed that where the OB was there is a flat, pink, shiny smooth area, kind of like a burn scar. I've read that H sores aren't supposed to scar and your skin is supposed to be normal between OBs. Does anyone else have this?

I've also had some serious tingling/itching the last 3 or 4 days, and some burning with urination, but so far no OB. Hoping it stays that way! Anyways.. hope everyone had a great holiday Xo

I would guess the area is still healing. I certainly don't have any scars from any of my OB's and my whole chin used to break out when I was a kid.

And yeah - I'd guess your body is still fighting it off so you may be having the prodrome symptoms w/o an OB. Try the Epsom Salts baths ... Nice warm water and several handfuls of ES sprinkled all around where you are sitting 2x/day ;)

thanks @wcs! can always count on you for a quick & helpful answer :)
