A member asked:

Will valtrex (valacyclovir) help clear up breakouts in-between legs and close to vagina?

Dr. Michael Roman answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

If: It is due to viral eruption. If it is susceptible to Valtrex (valacyclovir) it would help if the problem is a different problem it won't help. See your doctor and find out what it is before treatment.
