Diagnosed with herpes (no idea which type for now) yesterday! It is, in my doctor’s opinion, a very severe first outbreak. My peri-anal region is covered in open sores, which leads me to this question: what can I use or do to maintain the region dry? As the butt crack is usually humid and closed region, it is hard for the sores to dry out! I’m a female by the way! Panty liners? Bandages? Creams?! Any tips for managing the pain are welcome. So far baths are the only thing that soothes it.
