Katidid, he had mono a few weeks ago and then he got a blister thing on his tounge which we thought was just from the mono but it probably was the herpes.. I'm going to guess it's type 1 too.. if it hurts alot should I get out? If it will help it heal then I want to try it.. most of my sores have already had the fluid stuff come out and it's trying to heal up now( most of it) I looked it up and a few different places said salt water and chlorine both would help dry it out but my dr said it wouldn't make a difference.. she also didn't seem to know much about the subject but she obviously knows more than I do.. also I haven't been using soap down there just water. I don't want it to get infected but what should I use?
