A member asked:
I have herpes simplex 1 and get a really bad face burning and itching sensation my doctor doesn't have an answer for this what can this be?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes virus: Herpes MAY be kept under control by taking an amino acid supplement called Lysine and avoiding an amino acid called Argenine, which is found in nuts and chocolate. The burning and itching often precedes and outbreak. Please continue to see your doctor but consider seeing a nutritionist. Peace and good health.
