I was just recently diagnosed and i'm taking valtrex from my first outbreak and i'm healing but im super itchy..has anyone experienced this? is it because the sores are all healing or maybe i have a yeast infection, i hope it doesn't mean another outbreak..

    I think it’s due just to the healing time from your first outbreak I think it was close to 6 to 8 weeks until I felt completely normal down there again.Try using Vagisil it helps with itch once the sores have scabbed over
