Valtrex and break out

[Jenn88]

Can I still have a break out if I’m taking valtrex daily?? I have a bump on the outside upper part but I dunno if it can b a break out or ingrown hair ?

I actually did and needed a dose adjustment.

After my initial outbreak, I was given the daily suppressive dose of 500mg. My second outbreak came a month after my first - very minor red dots, pain was non-existent. I knew it was an outbreak because of the mirrored symptoms from my first outbreak...

I ended up telling my Dr, who felt that my body is still trying to figure everything out and shouldn’t be getting an outbreak on Valtrex. I got upped to 1000mg a day.

So far I haven’t noticed another outbreak and it has been about 3 months since that increase.

I just hate not being able to tell the difference between and ingrown hair and an outbreak bc I have no other  symptoms
