Back in may/June i got v sore 'down there' when I looked it was like a couple of little cuts. Anyway I wet straight to drs who immediately sent me to see a consultant (he does that if you've got medical insurance) the consultant took one look and said it's a cold sore and explained cold sores can appear anywhere and you tend to get a break out if you're run down stressed. She said it wasn't an STI (not sure how it could be but glad to hear because , well it is the herpes virus. )Well I got a prescription for Acticlover (sp) and it seemed to work.... For a bit anyway. Fast forward 6 mths and here i am before Xmas having just lost my mum in oct... I think I'm just about coping but fully expecting to come crashing down in jan but to top it all the cold sores are back and thrush and my period (it normally happens around this time in the month) I've no sex drive I feel rubbish. Has anyone else experienced cold sores down there? I will try and go to my gp but it's Xmas and they are so busy. I'm itchy sore fed up and so exhausted from everything
