Is it possible that the lesion on my genital during chicken pox is due to STD?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com. Your concern is folliculitis. There are many reasons for it like dehydration to reverse shaving or low immunity of any cause. Start Metronidazole gel in the morning and T-bact (Mupirocin) ointment in the evening on the affected areas. If they resolved, ignore but if they flare then have a physical examination by a dermatologist nearby you. It is not sexually transmitted disease (STD).

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com. Herpes or chicken pox lesions will present as vesicles and will not affect hair usually. If there is any history of unprotected sexual exposure then plan for sexually transmitted disease (STD) profile. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) p24 assay, hepatitis B surface antigen assay, anti-hepatitis C antibodies assay, Venereal disease research laboratory (VDRL), herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1 and 2 IgG and IgM assay, complete urine examination. For these lesions, no need for further evaluation.

Hi IgM antibodies indicate recent infection. In few instances there may be cross reaction with normal antibodies in the body. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) 1 usually transmits through nasal or oral route and HSV 2 transmits through unprotected sexual exposure. Since there is no clear cut demarcation in your reports for which virus , either for type 1 or type 2 IgM is raised I recommend you to go for western bolt investigation after completing 7 days course of oral acyclovir medication. Start acyclovir 800mg tab 5 times in a day for 7 days. Have 2 glasses of water with each tablet. It’s very safe medication. If you notice any sort of discomfort during the treatment stop the medication immediately and report to general practitioner (GP) near by you. Get western bolt after 10 days post medication and report me.

Hi

1. IgG indicates previous infection in the past , say some months to years back. 2.IgM levels above standard levels can be considered as positive irrespective of its value 3.VZV and HSV are two different viral families. There may be cross reactivity with natural antibodies present in the body 4.dry crusts indicate that you are completely recovered from chicken pox. Let’s see western blot test results say and in your case previous reports might be false positive results .

Hi Start Acyclovir 800mg five times in a day for 7 consecutive days after food. Have plenty Of fluids during the course of medication. We can consider this report . Nothing serious , don’t worry. By treating aggressively during active phase of infection will reduce future chances of recurrence.

Hi

Western blot test results can be considered as positive results . Avoid sexual life for a week until you finish the antiviral course. Don’t repeat any sort of investigations, not required right now . Don’t worry. Start a new life and stay positive.
