Brief Answer:
Valacylcovir works in different types of herpes infections
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.
I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.
1. The medicine valacyclovir is an anti viral and prevents spread of viral infection like herpes.
2. If you have been examined and prescribed valacyclovir then most probably it is a herpes eruption. Please note that herpes usually causes rashes which appear in clusters but taking valacylovir will prevent new rashes from erupting and therefore control the condition. Itching and burning is a known symptom in herpes.
3. If valacyclovir is reducing your symptoms and there are no more rashes then it is likely that you had herpes. Valacylcovir does not work in any other type of pimples except different types of herpes infection.
Hope your query is answered.
Please do wrote back if you have any doubts.

Brief Answer:
Hope you have been tested for herpes 1 and 2 infections
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
1. There are two main types of herpes viruses which causes genital infection. Though the herpes type 2 virus causes most infections, the herpes type 1 virus can also cause genital infection. If you have been tested for both herpes 1 and 2 infections and both results are negative then a cause other than herpes has to be thought of.
2. If valacyclovir is taken early in herpes infection then the typical rashes can get suppressed and you really will not experience the cluster of rashes which is seen in most herpes infections.
3. If you have been tested for herpes 1 and 2 infections and results are negative then herpes is less likely and it can be a small pimple from a mild skin infection in the region which healed by itself.
Hope your query is answered.

Brief Answer:
Herpes can come back after years under stressful conditions
Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing back with an update.
1. If the pills heal the rash then it is likely herpes. Herpes can come back after few months or years if you have any stress. It will stay dormant in your system and when a person is under stress then the rashes come back.
2. If it does not heal then probably it is a mild infection which is described in above reply.
3. Please have your partner also tested for herpes if required.
Hope your query is answered.
