A member asked:
Will herpes medication stop the virus from surfacing completely?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: Sometimes when herpes medication is taken at the moment that a patient starts to feel a 'burn" in an area, the lesion fails to appear. However, most often the medication simply shortens the length of time of the lesions appearance on the skin surface.
