Random Genital Paper Cuts: Anyone Else?

Does anyone else ever feel like they have paper cuts on their genitals randomly but that's about it?

Can you help? connect today

Kdee

For me I’d say like pins and needles ? Or like a tingling feeling ? After I stress out bad that feeling always comes then goes away. After my first outbreak I felt it a lot but not it only happens after I stress out

Skywalker

are the pins and needles feeling a constant thing or are they only noticable when touched by something or someone?

Kdee

But now*

Kdee

I don’t have the feeling if my bf touches me or anything for me it comes after stressing a lot the day before and then the very next day I feel it for awhile. When I first got my outbreak I had the same feeling and then the lesions came out. It’s like the beginning stage of an outbreak for me but for me to trigger them to come out I have to shave or wax and then I’ll get one.

Kdee

When do you experience this feeling ?

I know outbreaks can be cause be stress, friction, etc. I get like a sore feeling and then sometimes I get Allodynia in my right leg, followed by an outbreak.

Skywalker

Ok, now that I think about it. Back when I did have an outbreak, it DID start with these little pins and needles feeling down there.

Kdee

yesss ! That’s how mine started right before my first outbreak im like this is a weird feeling ? And then now I only get the feeling when I super stress but I don’t break out I just have to chill all of the next day and I’m good lol ! I’ve also tested it out with shaving I only get outbreaks if I shaved my left side then the right and my second outbreak didn’t come through because I caught it in time to see! I really wish I knew where I got this from I found out literally two months after giving birth to my daughter. I’m a mom of two but at times I get nervous when they kiss me and get close to my lips :(

Skywalker

Hey!! So what does everybody so when they feel it start like this? Just relax and get un-stressed ?? And in answer to the question of when do I experience it, honestly, it seems totally random. But I'm going to pay more attention now!!

Skywalker

do* not so*

try using Lanacane cream it releaves the burning itchy feeling. Cotton clothing and loose.

Kdee

I also can’t remember if you posted of someone else but it read that someone’s doctors encouraged them to get tested for everything ? I heard doctors don’t do that and you have to be the one asking for it. I wish my doctor did test me for everything while being pregnant I’m very thankful that my daughter is healthy and didn’t get it passed on to her when I did give birth to her. When they tested me they said it was an cold case because I guess they can see if I just got it within 3 months ? But who knows really I feel like this virus is so tricky
