A member asked:

Blisters from a herpes outbreak in groin area turned into scabs that fell off during a hot shower. had red marks now for a week. when will they heal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Healing herpes: Sometimes redness from skin inflammation or infection can take several weeks to months to resolve. Unfortunately there is no good way of shortening that time.
