Am I on the road to recovery?

Hey

I posted in here a while back (2019) when i was suffering from PR for the first time. I honestly feel like i had the worst case of it ! Even my gp after 4 visits pleading with them to help me on the the final visit when they could physically see how bad it was finally prescribed me some antivirals which i thought at the time may have helped but it was so bad I couldn’t really tell but did some how managed a week at Glastonbury (it was a long week) . However to my point about 2.5 weeks ago I noticed what I thought was potentially ringworm (thinking naively PR wouldn’t ever return after having it already - advice given to me by my gp) so I booked emergency appt went to gp and they confirmed my worst fear another case of PR however this time I was prescribed the antivirals straight way (aciclyvor 800mg 5x / day) and a hydrocortisone cream (which I just add I’ve only used once ) .

So I come home in tears and again took to google - so this is what I’ve done the last 8 days -

Taken antivirals

Washed in head and shoulders , coolish showers, then applied aveeno cream (menthol one)

Supplements- vit E , C, D , zinc & L-lysine.

One anti histamine per day

X4 kalms (to ease any potential stress)

Now I don’t know which of the above has worked specifically or if it’s a combination but this hasn’t escalated beyond a herald patch and few red dots that in my first case multiplied rapidly spreading growing and just ruining my life really lol . The herald patch has almost gone and the red dots that appeared have pretty much vanished . I hope this helps someone as I know how difficult that time of my life was . I’ve attached pictures of my first case (the bad first two 2019 - the second pics herald patch and start if the spread but this hasnt gone any further and is almost gone ) this second case ive been following the steps above .
