Hello everyone,

As you all are probably aware, I have had genital herpes, HPV and oral
herpes for around 11 years. So this should mean that my immunity are
quite high within my own system from auto inoculation.

A week ago the skin on the underside my wrist where the wrist watch
watch covers started itching so I took off my watch. The skin was itchy
and red, then a day later it was sore and pinchy. The following day
there were a cluster of tiny blisters, maybe 10-15 of them and the skin
was moist and oozing and then the next day it was itchy and I could see
the outline of all the popped blisters which were crusty looking. Today
it is just red.

I know its not poison ivy because I wasnt in the woods and it wasnt
that kind of a spread out rash, and it wasnt a mosquito bite, because
of the blister like presence and not ringworm, because that dosent go
away by itself unless you wait about a month. I had to have given
myself herpes on the arm!

I am wondering how on earth did I infect my wrist with herpes??! Could
I have had it there all the time and not known it, and does this mean I
will get these outbreaks on my wrist from now on?

My solution to this is the previous prednisone usuage, being very tired
from over working and maybe a little stressed. Would that have depleted
my immune system enough for this to happen?

This is so weird.

Al
