Herpes labialis

2019-11-13 04:38:28
Recurring every 3-4 months since May 2018. This time it recurred after 10 months on 3rd Nov. I took Aciclovir for 3 days (2-3 times a day) and applied T-bact locally 3-4 times a day. So it almost subsided by 11th Nov. But today morning I am feeling the tingling once again and it looks like it may be recurring right away. Pls advise the right course of action.

If you are having recurrent herpes then acyclovir needs to be taken daily for 6 months. Please see a dermatologist who can prescribe you the same
