Hi! I am very concerned. i had a recurrent outbreak of genital herpes almost a month ago. I started taking acylovir for the first time, mainly because i have a big vacation coming up. the outbreak cleared up and i decided i would do suppressive therapy to keep any other outbreaks at bay for my trip. Two days ago, i woke up and noticed a spot on my pinky. No pain, no itching, no swelling. I am worried it is a finger herpes. I covered it. I am pretty good about washing hands, not sharing towels, etc during an outbreak but I also wear contacts. Now i am concerned the herpes has spread to my eyes, as they have been itchy and slightly irritated. Does anyone have experience with this? it feels like allergies but after looking at pics it could be occular herpes. I will attach some pictures but would love some insight. Thanks. image
