Dealing with Herpes?
in Health ·
Hi everyone, I have a bit of an issue. I'm planning to see my doctor soon, but I'm hoping it's nothing serious and that someone here might be able to offer some advice first.
Basically, about two months ago I had a herpes outbreak, which has since cleared up. However, a red patch has remained on the upper edge of my lip and has spread to cover about half of it. Occasionally, the herpes flares up again in that spot, and it just won't fully heal.👎
I've tried various creams and nothing seems to work; I even went to the pharmacy and they gave me something, but I haven't seen any results.
The sun seems to be a major trigger for me—it causes everything to swell up.
Has anyone else dealt with a similar situation?👎
