Topics:Genital HerpesTreatment

I had a open wound on my vagina and that is healing fine. I also had one on my leg and now it seems a whole heep of little blisters are comming out next to the lesion on my leg.

Is it normal for it to make new lesions and blisters on my skin even though the one on my leg is not almost healed.

 

should i let the virus run its first course before takings herbal remedies or tablets?

 

i have been reading peoples advice on here and some people say to take lynsine, others claim it makes the virus worse for them.

 

what is a good topical medication i can use on the blisters that have just come up again on my leg? at the moment i am using betadine on my sores (www.betadine.com.au)

 

im so confused...................... :(

hay there I know you probally found answers to your question by now but for those who have the same problem when i 1st found out i had herps form 2 i asked my doc for advice and thats the best person to ask when it comes to treatments as diffrent treatments effect people diffrently, as for the break outs they can reapper on the same spot they just were while it is healing i believe that happens because the virus is still fresh there n is wanting to multiply its self again. best thing i have found to help keep break outs on a low is eating fresh fruit like grapes bannas berries and stone fruit also drinking multi vitamin juice helps too.  this is because the cleaner healthier u are the less likely  a break out from exsperiance  i have found if i say hit the clubs for the weekend or like easter and x mas eat to much junk i get a break out, also for soothing the pain they cause heat helps if you can run  a bath with water as hot as you normally can with stand and that helps too. i think that is about all there is i can say atm hope it helps btw feel free to talk to me about it
