Blisters on thighs and thrush

5 replies

Km7689 · 25/02/2025 20:54

Hi 👋
I'm new here so not sure what to say.
I'm looking for help or advice.

So I started getting really really intense thrush , by intense i mean for about 2 weeks before my period was due to start and nothing helps it. Went to the doctor and was put on anti biotics for 6 months thrust treatment etc etc.
Then read somewhere it was possibly because of the copper coil (IUD) which iv had for about 3.5 years now.
Anyway iv kind of learnt to deal with this now as its my only option before not having contraception due to me not reacting well to hormone contraceptives.

But recently it's got even worse, and I'm not sure if this is connected or not but iv been getting small blisters all over my upper thighs and on my bum. Which are really sore and have been sometimes bursting.
I have booked a doctors appointment but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what this could be or help to get rid of these?

Thanks so much 🙏 💓

Do you get any tingling at all with the blisters? Is there any possibility you've been exposed to the herpes virus? As tbh blisters in that area, my first thought was herpes. I say this as a HSV1 sufferer myself.

Sounds like Herpes to me. Or shingles

I was also thinking herpes. A friend of mine only gets the outbreak on her bum cheeks, it's itchy and painful.

It's possible the thrush you've been experiencing is actually herpes. Maybe try and get some antivirals and see if both symptoms clear up.

I don't know much about it and I'm too scared to Google too much but I'm quite sure that blisters would indicate genital herpes, sorry OP 😞

Has the doctor seen this? I'd get tested ASAP

I'd think herpes as well OP. Can you get a swab done when you have a breakout to find out. The sooner you can get proper treatment for it to try control it a bit the better maybe.
