A member asked:
How long does it take for genital herpes scabs to go away?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes simplex: This is highly variable, as is the duration of active lesions. If they are not going away within a week or two of disappearance of the symptoms, check with your doctor and have them examine these.
