Acyclovir resistance or pimples

[Feelingblue]

How likely is acyclovir resistance? I seem to get spots on my buttocks every couple of weeks despite suppressive therapy. However, I'm honestly not sure if these are pimples or herpes. How many people here have had frequent outbreaks despite suppressive therapy? I have no other health issues.

Some people find that Acyclovir is not effective for them. I was prescribed Famvir once and found it was not effective for me, Went back to the doctor and had him change me over to Acyclovir and the outbreaks quickly cleared up. Others on here have had very good results with Famvir, something to discuss with your doctor.

 

Try to get those spots looked at and possibly swabbed. Find out if its actually herpes or something else all together.
