call the dr. who did culture for positive herpes & find out if this outbreak is hsv1 (oral )or hsv2 (gential ). valtrex side efects are minor . take valtrex at night & u will not feel the side effects . keep your hands away from your eyes !!!!!! always wash your hands well after any contact w/ gential or anus . herpes can spread to eyes if carried to the eyes my your hands, just try to settle down & deal w/ this problem because herpes cannot be cured . herpes comes & goes !! but no real health risk !!! pisky !!!! take care ,rt
