To whom this my concern,
I took a blood test and was recently diagnosed with hsv 1 in my vaginal area I was prescribe acyclovir to take when I had an outbreak. Th first one was some what mild and just involved a lot of itching in my vaginal and buttock area and a bump. The bump was located Berra the center of my vagina in between my inner lips. It was not filled with pus and it didn't hurt, it was just there. After I finished the first round of acyclovir, the itching mostly subsided and the bump shrank so I stopped paying attention to it.i assumed the outbreak was over, but I sometimes still experienced some slight itching, does this mean the outbreak didn't actually end or is that normal? After all of this I began to have a thick white discharge and would still itch a little, Why is this? For some reason, I started my period a week early and for the first day it was just a mixture of a little blood and discharge, then the flow became normal and heavy, and now it is back to being lighter and being mixed with discharge. What could have caused this? I also felt that I may have been having another outbreak, but I wasn't completely sure if it was the early stage or if it was just itching from last time , so I refilled the prescription and began taking it just in case. Although I dint itch too much I noticed that the bump from before was still there, is there any particular reason for that? And should I just switch my prescription to a daily suppressive instead of taking a pill for when I feel and outbreak?
