So over a week ago I was told I had herpes by my doctor so she went on to prescribe me aciclovir which is meant to shorten the outbreak I can tell you this much it’s f****ng painful. Anyways Friday this week it started getting better I could shower properly and wear jeans etc!.

But last night (Saturday) my partner went out with the lads and being that I haven’t been able to sleep with him I thought maybe I could pleasure myself anyway I did and since I’m all swollen down there again , it burns to wee and it’s hard to get comfortable I’m meant to go back to work Tuesday I can’t have anymore time off sad please help me

    Call your doctor and ask for lidocaine gel.  It works wonders!

      Hello, I spoke to my doctors yesterday and they’ve given me 800mg of aciclovir? Will that work????

      Yes that is the medicine (pills) that will make the sores heal up.  Definitely take the recommended dose.  The lidocaine is a gel you put directly on the sores that simply numbs them.  It doesn’t actually heal them.  But it gives some relief while waiting for the pills to heal them!

    my first year was awful with outbreaks. It gets better the longer you have it. Your body will build up natural antibodies. As for pain, I love to put straight hydrogen peroxide on mine to clean the sores, then pat or blowdry with the blowdryer then apply geranium and melaleuca essential oil to the spot. 

    A diet rich in healthy fats (avocado, coconut oil, salmon) helps prevent outbreaks from occurring. Stay away from sugar and high carb foods. Peanut butter is also a trigger for me and makes me breakout.

      Yeah after this I think I’m gonna be putting myself on a diet not that I need to I’m a size 4 but If it stops these outbreaks then I’d rather eat healthier
