I was diagnosed with HS1, but my outbreaks aren’t typical. They cover my breasts, stomach, sides, back, arms and shoulders. My doctor told me not to google because I won’t find much information about my situation. Does anyone else suffer this way? What should I expect from this? I’m so confused.

Hi!!

I have HSV1 but only on a singular section of my body, so I can't give the best advice.

However, I would say to expect not immediate results. It may take longer since you have more sores, but hopefully the antiviral medicine will help. 

Monitor symptoms, even keep a log of symptoms and when you feel better/worse to help the doctors, maybe? Maybe then you can see triggers of outbreaks. 

I am so sorry about this. I am sending you healing prayers!

Keep the Faith. 🌄☀️❤️🌼🍀🌈

It sounds like you have herpes gladiatorum- maybe search that term. 

Also screw your doctor for not encouraging you to be more informed.
