Suggest Treatment For Genital Herpes While On Valaciclovir
Hi there I have had an out break as I have genital herpes, I ve had it for a few months now and when I get a outbreak I take valaciclovir, 500g twice a days for five days and it clears up fine. Today a cluster of blisters appeared so I have already started taking the pill but this is the first time I have had extremely bad stinging on the blister so I just want a cream to help that, I have found 3 creams at home but do not know if I can use them, so if I tell you the three would you be able to say if or if not I can use them, 1.hydrocortisone cream(maximum strength) 2. Soov cream(antiseptic pain relief) 3.miconazole

lidocaine cream or blistex or abreva.
hydrocortisone helps the inflammation at the risk of making the virus grow better. miconazole will do nothing.
