Does anyone have the feeling of bugs crawling under their skin in their lips and genetalia areas? Is this a common sympton of HSV 1 and 2?

I have this sensation frequently accompanied with or without itching on an ongoing bases. Health care practioners seem unfamiliar with this when I tell them.

this sounds like the tingling everyone talks about. I get that too...Have you been diagnosed with HSV? I'm surprised your docs don't recognize this as the tingling feeling that is considered a symptom of a oncoming outbreak or even when it happens during an outbreak....

Bugs crawling! Yes...I have that...it's different than that tingling feeling that I get. It feels like...this may be a strange comparision but say you are wet down there and a little bubble comes out of either anal or vaginal...that's how it feels. Just something going over the surface of your skin. It's weird but I certainly have that...more so toward the end of the ob when the sores are about gone.

yeah i get that too, i cant help but think its normal, i suppose its just something that happens in a sensitive area. i mean if the tinyest dust particle gets in my nose i can feel it, so i guess it could be a number of things, from moisture sliding around to blood vessles just pumping blood :3 dont think theres much need to worry
