zovirax ointment

[zgirleygirl]

Hello, My Doctor perscribed zovirax cream for a really small ulceration on my labia. it had not gone away in months , never got big or anything , just itched , I had a swab done and it was neg and blood work and was negative.  I used the cream on my labia nad arround my peri area and inside the opening of the vagina. Problem is i started getting patches of raised bumps , like pimples and they itch , never had this before now .. I read you should not use zovirax ointment on the inside vaginal are , what do I do , My Doctor evidently does not give directions well or is this not the case, iam scared been withmy husband 16yrs and never had any problems and all of a sudden I have raised bumps all over ... She gave me valtrex and I had a svere allergic reaction to it. Migrains , skin rash and sore throat. is the ointment causeing the bumps>>>>>

Zovirax is excellent for Herpes when used at the first sign of tingling or itchiness and pain.  It also helps ease the pain when you have an outbreak. It might also shorten an outbreak and heal quicker.  However, if it isn't used right away--it might not do much except soothe the lesions. Herpes outbreaks rarely last for more than a week.

If you had these symptoms for months, I doubt if you have herpes simplex--you might have shingles. Change your doctor and find someone responsible.

A bump that has been there for months is not due to herpes anyways so the cream would be useless. Of course the cream is also useless for genital herpes too so you have double the totally wasted your time and money going on :(

You need to find a different doctor to be seen by who knows what they are doing.
