I got an out-break at the early of April. I have got 3 out-breaks until now, and it becomes worse. At first, It was just a genital out-break. I took medication treatment (Acyclovir + Vitamin C), then it passed. After 2 weeks free from HSV, another out-break emerged, but this time, it happened both genital and oral. Gosh, It's such a tragedy. However, It is not the end of this out-break. Unfortunately, I got a cold after that, and then the 3rd out-break came. Now, It's totally worse. I got blister in my noses and in my left ears. GOD!

I don't know what to do now, because my doctors always just give only one type of medical treatment (Acyclovir + Vitamin C).

Please help me, or give me some advice.

    I'm sorry you are going through these frequent outbreaks. It's unusual that the outbreaks are getting worse. For most people the first outbreak is the worst one.

    Could there be any problem with your immune system?

    Your outbreaks are frequent. It might be worth asking your doctor whether you can go on the acyclovir continuously for a few months to suppress them. This would be more effective than waiting for each outbreak.

      Thank you for your advice. Actually, now, I have got suspression treatment with Acyclovir (3 pills per day) and Vitamin C. I have no idea what's going on in my body, it's really stressful for me to keep on the treatment like this.

    I am so sorry to hear that also. I am presently dealing with quite a nasty outbreak in my butthole. It is soooo painful. I am going to try acupunture and herbal medicine today. I hope it will bring me some relief and help me heal faster cause it is really something terrible. I will let you know if it helped me in some ways. Finger crossed! But you should definetly take care of you immune system and apparently stress management and good nutrition helps.

    i had not relief with acyclovir only valtrex works for me!

    i didnt go on suppression for 6 months to see how my body would cope! mentally i was broken. i stressed so much about it. i had 9 very minor outbreaks but i think i caused half of them from being so stressed.

    maybe it will help you to talk to someone to get your head around it all.

      Valtrex is acyclovir, you know. I just start my suppression 1 month, and It's going well. But I hope i can quit the medical treament soon, because of too many side-effects.

      Now, I get used to genital breakouts, but facial breakouts are so harsh. I don't want people look at my ugly face. Gosh!
