You can read all the case studies from different individuals just like you and I. Most of these folks have symptoms like white patches, bumps,etc. major symptoms. In my case I only have the small, very small snake like lines/razor cuts, breaks in the skin, nothing more. You can even see them unless you move the skin over and mine are only 1/8 of an inch long at the most if even that. Some people are having results using Temovate, Clobetasol propionate creams and others, however that is for Lichen Sclerosis. I want more info on herpes and Lichen Sclerosis and any common similarities and will these topical steroids/creams help with the razor like cuts/lines/tears. I hope this helps other people and please help me with anything you find or know.

Quote from hb2002:

I can't seem to find any photos of Lichen Sclerosis. Is there a website you can point me to?

Movingrightalong - The rescue shelters are way too overloaded with dogs who are just looking for a second chance to find someone they can love. Maybe they could be trained to be office helpers and market them as Dogs With Jobs. And since they are fabulous for relieving stress they would also be most helpful to people with herpes since stress does trigger O/B.

Having trouble affording office staff? Have herpes? Then adopt a dog and save a life!! It's a win-win situation.

Of course the other solution is to put backyard breeders and puppymill owners into cages, ship them off to shelters and give them a taste of their own medicine. And then maybe 20,000 dogs every single day wouldn't have to be euthanized.
