HERPES SIMPLEX VIRUS

2021-05-04 19:35:45
I've been suffering from cold sores on my inner thighs since 5 months. The breakouts occur before my menstruation cycle and continues few days after the cycle is over. I've been put on 4months course of Acyclovir 400mg (Herperax)-twice a day. But it seems to have no effect on my breakouts. Its already been 2 months since the course. Please suggest something to cure/prevent the breakout or ease the pain over the area.
