A member asked:
Is it normal for a first herpes outbreak to last for a week? im talking about type 2 here?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
For the inital outbreak, it can last 2 to 4 weeks. Have you seen a doctor to get treatment? That would be helpful to ensure that is all it is and to help shorten the length of the outbreak.
