A member asked:
I have herpes and i'm on valtrex (valacyclovir) suppressive therapy 500mg 1x per day. after shaving i get a red rash is it an ob or folliculitus how can i tell?

Probably folliculiti: Since you notice it right after shaving, i would think it is folliculitis. However, the irritation effect of the razor can allow herpes to grow. You might get it checked out and then you wouldnt have to worry.
