    First of all do not go to a GO for genital herpes. Go to a gynecologist. A gynecologist is a female doctor and specialized in all things female and reproductive. So, he or she will know best how to treat you. I was recently diagnosed with genital herpes. I tried Valtrex but it was too hard on my digestive system. So, I then was put on Acyclovir 400 mg 3 times a day. I was able to tolerate that and it did the trick. I did end up with a little bit of lingering pain and a lot of lingering itching. Apparently, just as the pain of Shingles can linger a short or long time afterwards so can the pain and itching from genital herpes (it was my gynecologist who told me this). Anyway, I was put on Gabapentin which is genberic for Neurontin. It has helped me a lot but it has not gotten rid of all of my itching. Good luck and I can't encourage you enough to go to a Gynecologist.
