Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Genital herpes if occur more often or you have symptoms of irritation and burning then anti viral therapy will be helpful. In such case i would recommend famcyclovir orally. Local acyclovir cream application along with this is helpful also. Washing the genital area with ice water will give relief from burning sensation.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
