A member asked:

I am experiencing an outbreak of genital sores. they started last thursday night as i was overcoming the flu.

Flare up of genital: herpes could be the cause if you had one before. Stress such as flu could be the trigger. If no herpes before could be something else. See your doctor . Valtrex helps if indicated.
