A member asked:
I have hsv2 all over my body and am taking acyclovir, how long does it take to go away and can it reoccur? if so what should i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HSV: Very very unusual to have lesions all over your body if they are really due to hsv. Are you sure this is not varicella (chickenpox)? You might want to have a doctor examine this (dermatologist preferably), since this is a strange story.
