The Nair caused your skin to swell and burn. It caused breaks in your skin where any virus, bacteria or fungus could enter and cause infection. If your partner has Herpes, it could be easily transmitted to you through your irritated broken skin. If you had herpes before, the stress on the skin could cause an outbreak. Typically for Herpes, a prescription of Valtrex is given.
