I have type 1. Only had 2 outbreaks ever but only my first outbreak caused me any pain. Do not touch it. Are there still open sores? If not, it is likely you have some other kind of infection going on too. I was itchy and irritated for 6 months starting during my first outbreak, i ignored it for the most part thinking it was symptoms of this new virus. Turns out I had a yeast infection and BV the entire time. Any infection, including hsv can cause an imbalance in your ph which can lead to other infections. if there are still sores it makes sense that you are still uncomfortable, you need to help them dry out and heal. Go commando when you can and sleep naked. Pat dry after showering, or use a blow dryer.. you can take a bathe and soak in salt water or try baking soda for a bit of comfort. Do not wear anything tight or anything that traps in sweat. Baggy or stretchy bottoms and cotton granny panties are the best for comfort and healing. Also, if peeing hurts, pour water over the area while you are going. I brought a bug cup in the bathroom with me.. or if this doesnt help you can pee in the bathtub. I hope this helps a bit, it will get better i promise.

acyclovir made me throw up for 4 days. You should stop taking this as it wont do much now that the sore is gone.. I am thinking it is a different infection. I never asked but i assumed you are female due to itching and burning? Sometimes people who carry the virus without symptoms with randomly get their first one when their immune system is compromised. It sounds like you have a yeast infection or something that might have triggered the sore.. My second outbreak happened after 37 hours of travel so i was very stressed... For me the worst part was the anxiety and fear i felt. But it gets better I promise. No one likes to have anything wrong with their bits, but of all thr things that could be wrong, herpes is significantly minor in comparison. In all reality its a skin infection and you will be okay. It gets better I promise!
