I have been dating this girl for 4,5 months already and I love her, but... there is a huge problem. She has herpes (hpv1-oral herpes), and I have seberrhoeic dermatitis. Seberrhoeic Dermatitis is a immunity disorder, that means that my immunity is weakened, my chances are therefore higher. But.. few days ago I found out about disease called Eczema Herpeticum, which is a potentially deadly inflammatory disease which is caused by herpes virus HPV1 and infects inflamed skin such as Eczema, Seborrhoeic dermatitis, etc. It will create watery pastules/warts/nodules, which if untreated, will spread to whole face and then rest of the body and may cause death...
Even if the chances are low of getting it,they are still there. And it has potential lifelong and lifethreatening problems. Not only that, once you get it, you also threaten others, because there is a chance of passing it onto others, and that is something I do not want. If that scenario happened, I would not be with her anyway, and I would risk infecting her with it as well.
I love her, but I do not want to risk it for both of us. I was willing to risk my relationship even if I will get myself a herpes, but I thought that that would be worst that could happen.
I love her, and I cant imagine being without her... but I am afraid of this. How big risk is developing that disease? I heard it's rare. Also, what precautions should we make? We haven't been kissing when she had an active outbreak, however, we started kissing once her Herpes turned into a scab, which, she said, was harmless. What precautions should we make? Can she kiss me on places affected by seberrhoeic dermatitis, either if she has a scab or she doesnt have anything at all? What should I do? Please,help. Thanks.
Please do not panic.
Eczema herpeticum is most commonly caused by Herpes simplex 1 and 2, but it can also be caused by other viruses such as coxsackievirus.
Both persons who have herpes simple virus, and persons who have skin conditions such as eczema, or any other skin condition which damages the skin can get eczema herpeticum. It may also occur in persons with normal skin.
It most commonly occurs on the face and the neck, and very rarely occurs throughout the body, even though this can happen.Very rarely it will affect multiple organs and is rarely fatal. In addition as long as the condition is picked up quickly there is adequate antiviral treatment, as well as other treatment, so person affected by the condition, do not usually need admitting to hospital.
You should be aware that any one can get this very rare disease, so evne your girlfriend van get it. However, the emphasis is on rare, so bear that in mind. You do not have to be afraid to be with your girlfriend, just be careful not to have contact ith the open herpes vesicles.
It is also useful to know that people tend to have outbreaks of herpes simplex when they are stressed. If there are stressors in your girlfriend's life, then it may be worthwhile identifying these and seeing what can be done to relieve her stress.
Also, I guess from your comment that you and your girlfriend have discussed this concern of your. This situation could also be causing her stress, and cause her to have more regular breakouts of herpes simplex. Stress is also not good for persons suffering from eczema, since it can bring on flare ups.
It would be good for you and your girl friend to educate yourselves about this, so that you can objectively see that this is rare. Also do not put too much pressure on yourselves, and relax and have fun. Decreased stress levels will be good for both of you.

then put 2 cups of yogurt, and soak more, or just apply yogurt on the body after dring up.it needs a little this way.
bleach bath is tipical in US ordered by doctors, but adding vinegar before that is my invention, it'll lure bad things out, also, it will counter act the harsh ness of bleach.bleach kills better with vinegar.
so be very careful, only use it when you're too itchy. not use it more than twice a week.
I know many ways that kill ezxema, but so far have not found one that does not harm the skin, other than probiotic, but probiotic does not have much kill power.
I don't believe you can "kill" eczema, its not like an infection. Its a reaction, often considered an allergic reaction, that is why so many take anti-histamines for it. Its not something you want to attack in a anti bacterial way, its something you want to soothe due to its allergic nature. Many people who have eczema also have hay fever and asthma. People with these conditions should be very weary of what they consume or what they come in contact with, because they are very sensitive to allergens or toxins. This could be anything from cosmetics, to mold spores, to bleach, or diet. If your itchy I would recommend Calendula cream or oil, or applying an unpasteurized honey (darker varieties of honey have stronger healing properties, like buckwheat honey) or taking an antihistamine, but don't do anything that would otherwise irritate your skin further. I think sometimes it takes awhile to go away and can be triggered by multiple things, but in the end I discovered my eczema came when I was eating too much of certain things, (dairy to name one) was suffering from too much stress, (producing an excess of cortisol) and I think it also may have had something to do with the soap I was using. So my advice is be mindful of your lifestyle, use natural foods/products, and take a gentle approach to healing this.
jeez, i would never tell anyone to put bleach in their bath, or on their bodies at all, are you kidding? doctor or no doctor, that stuff is corrosive and poisonous, and causes chemical burns. i would not recommend this to anyone unless you want chemical burns along with your dermatitis/herpes!
There are virtually no syndromes and/or diseases that are not reversible. If she is interested in taking control of her own health [and I sincerely hope she is], the following will give her all the information she needs:
Any of the discourses by Luigi Cornaro (available free online);
Any of the books by Horace Fletcher (available free online);
Any of the writings of Arnold Ehret.
Just like virtually everything else in life, it is all ultimately up to YOU.
You have all my best wishes for a successful journey and resolution,
