    I took the same meds. And didn't notice any difference when taking them and not. So I don't take them. I tried everything when I first got outbreaks. It's trial and error and you will find what works for you. Epsom salt bath some polysporin after has helped me most of the time. But it depends on how bad each one is and now I only get 4 or 5 outbreaks a year. Try not to use anything harsh it's a sensitive area and irritates easily making it worse.

    Don't use Dial soap down there, it's too harsh. Use something gentler like Dove.  Have you checked for a yeast infection, yet? There are OTC tests you can take.
