Herpes: Okay. Are you on medicine? Perhaps once this round is cleared up you can talk to your physician about putting you on treatment to prevent outbreaks.

Antiviral medication: Consult with your dr, dermatologist or urologist. Antivaral drug treatment may help. Not cure but reduce symtoms to more tolerable level. Drugs are: acylovir, famciclover or valacyclovir. Getting circumcised may also help. My sympathies ; good luck.
