Hey guys, so I contracted HSV1 genitally at the start of January, I had 2 outbreaks in 3 months.
About 4 days ago I started to get a little itchy down below, thought it may be thrush but no creams helped! Tried some lysine balm on it and low and behold it helped!! Still a little bit itchy now but it seems to be slowly going away. Also started taking a 3 day course of antivirals 2 days ago when I noticed the lysine helping.
My question is, I've never had an insane itch previously but I've heard it can be a prodrome symptom. Could it be that this is just prodrome? And if so, is it possible to not have an actual outbreak?
Advice please?
