Brief Answer:
You are suffering from Herpes simplex infection.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX XXXXXXX Hi
Good evening!
After having gone through your problem and the treatment given by your doctor, you are most probably suffering from Genital herpes which is a common and highly contagious infection.
Taken as prescribed, these medicines can lessen the severity and frequency of outbreaks.
The recovery depends upon the timing of taking the medications.
Sooner during an outbreak a person starts taking the medications, the shorter and less severe the outbreak generally is.
Recovery usually starts with healing of the blisters after about 1-2 weeks.
Hope to have answered your query.
I shall be happy to attend your follow-up query if you have any doubt, otherwise you may please close this discussion after rating the answer.
Best regards.

Brief Answer:
There is no cure for herpes simplex
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX XXXXXX, Hi
Welcome back.
Thanks for your follow-up query.
1. Antiviral drugs such as Zovirax, Herpex, or Valacivir, are the most effective medications for the treatment of Herpes simplex infection. These can help to reduce the severity and frequency of symptoms and also prevent infected person from spreading the virus but they cannot cure the infection.
2. Yes, recurrence of the infection can occur because the virus will continue to live in an infected person’s nerve cells. These tend to be more common during the first year of infection. Over time, the outbreaks tend to become less frequent and milder. This is because the body makes antibodies (defenses) to the virus. Some people may experience regular outbreaks.
Even if a virus is dormant, an outbreak can be triggered by certain stimuli, such as stress, fever or illness, sun exposure or sunburn or in females during their menstruation.
3. Serious complications rarely occur in healthy people with herpes simplex.
They occur most often in people who have a long-term illness or weak immune system like cancer or HIV/AIDS, or an organ transplant.
Hope to have answered your follow-up query.
Kindly close the discussion if you do not have any doubt to clear.
Best of your health.
