Can Miconazole Relieve Burning And Itching Due To Herpes?
Can you use Miconazole Nitrate Cream to help relieve some of the burning and itching from having a herpes outbreak? Or could it possibly make it worse? What kind of things can you do to help it? Could you take a baking soda bath to help soothe it? This is my first outbreak and it is extremely painful! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Application of Metranidazole cream is not indicated for Genital Herpes, sometimes it may worsen the condition.
If it is a confirmed condition of genital Herpes then aciclovir cream and tablets are the ideal drugs to be used for 5-7 days. Warm water containing cooking salt (Na Cl) is the ideal thing to be used for washing. Consult your Physician for further help.
