It feels sore to wipe vaginal area if you have herpes. how do i deal with the pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Herpes simplex: This is a very painful and tender condition. You might try tylenol, (acetaminophen) ibuprofen, Aspirin and if this is not adequate, perhaps your pcp might have some stronger suggestions.
