What's best to use speed up the heeling of a herpes outbreak?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antiviral Medication: Medical treatment of herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection is centered around specific antiviral treatment (i.e. acyclovir). While the same medications are active against HSV-1 and HSV-2, the location of the lesions and the chronicity (primary or reactivation) of the infection dictate the dosage and frequency of medication, you need to see a physician to get a prescription
