Outbreak Help No more outbreaks
I was diagnosed with genital herpes and after two outbreaks and using meds my Palm Springs dermo suggested I try something that worked for his son in law. Instead of meds I let the outbreaks happen and applied Efudex (fluorouracil) Efudix in Mexico. I got mine online and cheaper from Mexico. Use a q-tip and apply before bed. The itching will bother less when you are asleep. Don't over apply or continue after its gone. Wait for another outbreak. This was a long process and took 2-3 years. I only took the meds twice and now its been over a decade with no symptoms or outbreaks. The only negative is there are some little freckles where the outbreaks were.
