A member asked:
I received mutliple labs stating i have hsv2. i kept getting outbreaks but not blisters. amoxicillin stopped them. is this herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not herpes: Amoxicillin has no effect on herpes. Probably a second problem that also causes skin lesions, e.g. folliculitis. See doctor during outbreak(s) for proper diagnosis. Herpes outbreaks never more often than every 4-6 wk; typically a small cluster of a few bumps that become blisters, then heal over 7-10 days; no symptoms at all between outbreaks. Prevent HSV outbreaks w/ acyclovir or valacyclovir.
