I have HSV-1 Genitally. I have found my trigger to be UV rays regardless whether I wear panties in the tanning bed or not. Although I have given up tanning in tanning beds, I am about to move to Florida. I know I will be spending lots of time in the sun
and on the beaches. My question is if I applied a SPF sunscreen to the areas where my outbreak occurs will it give me some added protection? I know Chapstick with SPF blocks UV rays on the lips
