Are you supposed to itch while you heal?
I have been diagnosed with HSV 1 genital (I am female). The lesions are slowly healing... am I supposed to be itching while this happens? (It's been about a week since primary outbreak)
soaking in the tubby with epsom salts thrown in or a packet of aveeno bath thrown in is helpful.
dermoplast spray ( the blue can, not the red can for the genital area ). it's a topical anesthetic you can spray for pain and itch relief.
topical anti- itch creams that don't contain steroids.
benadryl at bedtime.

yes itching is pretty normal.
if you continue to itch after the lesions have healed, see your provider for testing for yeast and bacterial infections vaginally.
