A member asked:
Do genital cold sores (let's say appearing in the inner butt region) could respond to anti acne medication? (benzoyl peroxide + adapalene?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Genital herpes: "Genital cold sores" suggests you have genital herpes. Symptoms alone aren't accurate for diagnosis -- you should see a health professional for confirmation of the diagnosis. If it's herpes, anti-acne medication will not help at all and likely would just irritate it, making symptoms worse or delyaing healing.
