What is the best creams for herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pills better: Antiviral pills work better than cream. On average, pills help you heal faster by 2 days. Antiviral creams may help you heal faster by 1 day [although Acyclovir cream doesn't help at all]. Using steroid creams while you are taking antiviral pills may help you heal faster.
