Herpes: I like to have my patients have their anti-pherpes medication always available in the medicine cabinet so that these aggravating outbreaks can be managed early on. There are three common medications that are available by prescription for this. There is also an option to put one on a daily treatment to suppress any outbreaks. Your physician will be very well versed in this common problem.
