Brief Answer:
see detailed description

Detailed Answer:
Hello, yes valtrex can cause the shedding of affected mucosa but not the normal mucosa.
If at all normal area is also getting shed then it is a drug reaction.
So stop the drug immediately and visit a dermatologist at the earliest.
All the best.
