Hi,

Welcome to HCM.

I can understand your concern but I can assure you that herpes simplex is treatable.

Active genital herpes can be quite painful and annoying. I suggest you take Tab Acyclovir 200 mg 5 times daily for 10 days.

Boost your immune system by taking multivitamin tablets twice daily for 10 days.

Keep the genital area clean and dry.

Avoid stressful conditions as stress is one of the most common cause of recurrence.

I hope I have helped you with this answer.

Thanks.
