Any creams etc to help with itch, dryness, and flakey skin?

[positiveandsadgal]

I have been diagnosed with herpes for a year now. I had 1 really bad breakout and 1 every month since then. I have been taking an antiviral every day for a few months now. It seems to be working for bigger sores. But almost seems like I'm shedding 100% of the time. It's incredibly uncomfortable. Are there any creams or something to help? (PS I haven't been dating or sexually active in almost this whole year because of this. Being a single mom, dating is seeming so hopeless! Any tips for that would be appreciated too!)

Hi, shedding is symptom free and thats why its mostly passed as the carrier doesnot know they have it. Since your having so many outbreaks i would see a herpes specialist to maybe change your prescription. On itchy skin i use over the counter 1% cortizone cream sparingly and as for dry skin just a good cream
