i dont have a burning sensation though does that mean it could not be herpes ...and if it is whats the treatment and is it fatal? will it shorten my life
Brief Answer:
Posiibility of herpes or folliculitis
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
The lesions are unilateral and vesicular fluid filled suggestive of herpes infection.
The burning sensation are usually present but absence may not rule out herpes.
Another possibility may be folliculitis due to secondary infection.
For herpes investigation smear and PCR testing may be done.
For treatment Local acivir cream and tab acivir 400 mg thrice daily for 7 days may be taken if the episode is first.
Herpes is not fatal bur has future risk of neurological involvement.
In case of recurrent episodes you have to consult a dermatologist and STD specialist.
Have you applied any hair removing agent ?
