genital outbreak treatment
by shelliewelli27, Aug 03, 2008 10:50PM
A while back I had an outbreak on my genitals and it was diagnosed as herpes simplex type 1 that I figured was from my boyfriend performing oral while he had a cold sore and was treated with some antiviral medication from my doctor, he now has a cold sore again and I have another outbreak on my genitals again! Im not sure if it is the same thing again but if it is could I treat it with cold sore medicine or does it have to be treated as if it was simplex type 2 as before?

Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus, and they're contagious. Signs and symptoms of cold sores include:
-Small, painful, fluid-filled blisters on a raised, red, painful area of your skin
-Pain or tingling, called the prodrome, often precedes the blisters by one to two days
-Usual duration of seven to 10 days
Cold sores usually appear on your lips. Occasionally, they occur on your nostrils, chin or fingers.
Cold sores generally clear up without treatment in seven to 10 days. If you experience frequent bouts, your doctor may prescribe an antiviral medication to treat cold sores.
