Is it possible for the sores to multiply?

Posted , 5 users are following.

It has been 5 days since my firs outbreak started and I went on an antiviral just yesterday. Since Monday the sores on my genital area have multiplied. Is this a normal thing to happen when going through a first outbreak? 

I am in so much pain and am struggling to cope with the whole process.

    It's very possible .

    Whenever I got my first outbreak I had sooooo many bumps.

    You just need to keep it clean as best you can and if you do wash your hands .

    It will all get better in due time .

    Yes, that can happen. Sometimes, there's a second crop of lesions after a week. That only happens with first outbreaks, fyi.
