Attack of the Killer Herpe

That's right, I got another damn herpe on my lip. This one isn't the typical invasion of my lip that I normally get. For me, it is relatively small. But, man is it ugly. I can't help to think (you're gonna be grossed out so click away if you have a weak tummy) is this what they look like when people have genital herpes??? I had one patient actually tell me that they look like a bunch of cauliflowers on the hooch. I'm curious. And, yes I know, that is just a twisted thing to be curious about, but I can't help myself. The visual alone almost gives me the dry heaves, but I don't get grossed out too easy.

My doctor gives me Valtrex when I get one of these lovely visitors. For those of you who don't watch TV....Valtrex is advertised on TV for genital herpes. So, Bubba thinks its funny to recite the last few lines of the commercial...with a little twist. At the end of the ad you see a guy and a girl standing together with their arms around each other and he says "I have genital herpes" and then she says "And I still don't." This is what he says to me when I want my goodnight kiss as he's pushing me away laughing..."She has herpes, but I still don't." He thinks he's sooooo very funny.
