    I'm sorry. Are you taking any antivirals? If so try a pain reliever also and a soothing bath...try pouring water over your genitals while you pee to dilute your pee and decrease the pain. Drink tons of water also...it helps a lot. Let the area air dry as much as possible and loose clothing is recommended.

    Definitely get some antivirals as soon as possible and also be sure to take a nice warm bath with salt in the water. Nothing else, no soap either. Let yourself soak for a good 30 minutes or longer and that'll help heal the sores, another suggestion is lidocaine cream which your doctor can prescribe you. I am a genital HSV1 holder also and I had an awful first outbreak. This stuff really helped and def helped heal the sores faster and the lidocaine cream made the area numb so I didn't feel pain peeing or walking. I hope this helps!! Goodluck
