Herpes gladiatorum

[Elizabeth66]

So I have hsv1 in the fourm of "mat herpes".

I take an antiviral daily yet still have occasional outbreaks, I typically get them on my arm. (Think where you would get a flu shot) I dont know anyone who has anything like this. What is the most efficient way to clear it up? Popping them? Bandaid? I even payed for a topical antiviral that doesn't seem to be making it go away faster.

 

I guess I'm just hoping to not feel so alone with this.

Definitely don't pop them! Keep them dry and maybe try a different antiviral? I hear lemon balm works and if you're in the US Femiclear have released a good product that is helping a lot of people with their symptoms.
