Im off on holiday soon to a hot country and I'm worried I'll have a flare up, will I need something to prevent this happening? Or anything I can do? Thanks

      Not sure if it is right but I find drinking plenty of water seems to help.

      I did it 3 times (in Egypt and Cremea) - and all right! If you will feel start of outbreak - you must use valacyclovir and very soon!
