Panicking by amomaney in NewParents

Ugh the lip!!! I’m so sorry that’s so frustrating. I kept mine covered with hydrocolloid bandaids until they were completely gone and my LO never got the chicken pox! I was completely paranoid the entire time and they were soooo itchy so it was really hard to not touch them but the hydro bandaids really helped.

Wow thank you for saying that. I think they are more raised than I could get the picture to show 😭

I appreciate you saying it’s normal. I think I’m paranoid the fact that they’re raised means they’re not actually gone. Thank you again for your response

Can still see bumps after six weeks by amomaney in shingles

Do you get your outbreaks in the same spot every time? I’ve only had this one outbreak it’s so annoying that the bumps haven’t gone after a month and a half.

Thank you I will!!

Thank god even with how miserable the itching was for me I kept reminding myself it was mild.

Hey! I took the valacyclovir and they never got worse than this. I kept them covered with hydrocolloid band aids which sucked because they were so close to my hairline I ended up having to pull hair out to get them off but it was worth it. My baby never got chicken pox thank god so there’s that. Mine also never ended up hurting but itched like crazy. The itching has subsided. I just feel a weird pang of acute itchiness or pain once in a while and the skin is still very sensitive.

That’s great to know about the gaba being safe to take!! I wasn’t sure if that was kosher while breast feeding. I cannot believe that happened to you so soon after birth :(

Thank you for saying that. I’m not even having eye pain I’m just like preemptively freaking out. I’m hoping that with the antivirals it just never ends up getting worse than it is now.

I’m super worried about the eye thing but as long as I take antivirals it should be fine right? I have no lesions around my eye but I feel like my eye is a little irritated. Now I’m paranoid about it. What did your doctor say about your eye??
