A member asked:
I was just diagnosed with genital herpes and my outbreak just cleared up and i finished treatment. is it possible to have another outbreak already?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genital Herpes: Yes. Unfortunately recurrent herpes outbreaks, while not common are possible. You may need to go on a daily treatment of the herpes medication for several months to try to break the cycle of rapid and frequent breakouts.
