Suggest Treatment For Genital Herpes
Question: Hi,
I'm almost positive I have genital herpes. I had my first outbreak in mid April & the worst of it cleared up, but my vulva,clitoris area still is swollen and looks cut up and at the edges like a sawtooth blade. I've been taking 3000mg of Valtrex generic for almost 6 weeks. Today I started 1500 mg of Famvir generic. I take adderall 60 mg daily out of necessity & I'm taking Lysine 3-4,000mg daily religiously. I even tried BHT for a month. I'm beside myself! What do you suggest?

Brief Answer:
Precautions advised
Detailed Answer:
Hello Mam thanks for trusting health care mix.
You are taking all possible options and since taking it regularly it should have cleared by now.
In my opinion you need to apply placentrex cream over affected area for ten days twice a day and clean your private parts with vWash perineal hygiene wash daily.
See if helps but in case it persists even after 5 days of therapy then I will suggest you to get a skin biopsy of the affected area.
Wish you speedy recovery
Regards
Dr Manisha
