Topical acyclovir: This formulation of acyclovir is next to worthless in shortening duration of lesions or preventing recurrence. It will reduce the risk of transmission of Herpes to others, but at the potential cost of creating resistance in your virus strain. Recommend you stop using this. You can use oral acyclovir salts. Discuss this with your doctor.
