Is there anything I can use for my genital herpies outbreak?

	Asked by Unregistered (Female; 25; high blood pressure and herpies; Relevant drugs:none ) on Tue 15, Jul 2008 12:12pm :
	what can you use for herpies outbreaks to help it go away or help the pain to ease off? Does triple anibiotic ointment suppose to help with the pain or the outbreak itself? Is there anything I can do to help prevent outbreaks in the future? Why doesn't my husband outbreaks hurt as much as mine or last as long as mine?

	Answer by Dr.Rohit Agarwal (doctor) on Mon 24, Aug 2009 11:35pm: Hello, You can use povidone iodine solution, apply thrice a day. In between one can apply lidacaine solution with cotton swab pressed for 5 min on wound for 2 consecutive days for pain. Anti viral therapy is useful if started early on the first day of eruption. Every individual react to diseases differently due to genetics of the organism. In future start antiviral therapy early. Keep the area hygienic. Take gabapentin and methylcobalamine for pain. Take care.
