Advice on dealing with burst genital blisters?

First outbreak is always the worst one. I promise the rest won't be nearly this bad. When I got my first one I'd scream in pain every time I had to pee and I was terrified to go to the toilet. The doctor gave me an anaesthetic gel but even putting that on just burnt. The only relief really is to wear nothing, stick your bottom on a pillow with your legs open and let the air get to it to dry them out. Take painkillers obviously, but you're just going to have to ride this one through. Take your aciclovir and just wait for them to heal up.

I would practically faint from the pain when I had to go pee in the morning so I used a squirt bottle while peeing, filled with warm water. Used it each time I peed and used a blow dryer afterwards. That's about it and just waited to get over the outbreak.

Drink lots of water and don't hold in your pee. Concentrated urine burns. Diluted urine is much more bearable. Pour water down below while you pee. It helps. Use topical lidocaine and oral paracetamol or ibuprofen for pain relief. Soak your genitals in a tub of Epsom salts and warm water once or twice a day. Supposed to be soothing and helps speed up drying/healing.
