Hello,
Thanks for contacting health care magic.

With the description you have made about the blisters with clear discharge, it appears to be herpes simplex virus infection.

It would be helpful if you can attach a picture of the lesion to diagnose better.

I uploaded photos of blisters that just appeared on my finger and on my feet. I am not prone to blisters, however I do have vaginal herpes I have not experience the blisters on other areas of my body or the discharge in the past. Is it common for herpes to impact other areas of your body like my fingers and is that a symptom of a larger issue or will it just go away in time when it runs it's course? I expect the rash on my thighs and vagina are a result of the extra moisture created by the discharge which happens incrementally throughout the day as a gushing excess if fluid. Just wondering if these symptoms are related and how to manage them. I've tried douche modifications to no avail.

herpes and intertrigo...explained

Detailed Answer:
hello ,
Thanks for the follow up.
I have seen your images.
This definitely appears to be a herpetic extension of your vaginal manifestation. it has to run its own course for 21 days unless antivirals are started early to shorten the incubation period..
Also ,the red rash on your vagina and thigh is probably INTERTRIGO, which occurs in moisture prone areas usually and is characterized by redness, itchy, clear foul discharge. It secondary to infection and inflammation secondary to fungus. you may apply antifungal lik Miconazole over these areas thice a day and try to keep the area moisture free.

i suggest please visit a dermatologist in person for an evaluation and opinion please and if required for prescription of antivirals which are vailable only on prescription.
