Can silver sulfadiazine or fucidin be used for genital herpes? i presented with sores on labia majora to my gp & he gave me both. the sores are worse.

Wrong Treatments: Genital herpes is caused by a virus. It causes very painful open sores on the genitals. It makes little sense to have you apply a topical cream to areas tender to touch. You need to get a second opinion where they should put you on one of many excellent anti-viral medications for this. Silvadene (silver sulfadiazine) is used for burns and the Fucidin is an antibiotic. Neither was a great idea.
