Suggest Treatment For Herpes

I have been diagnosed with genital herpes. I ussually never take the medican and ussually dont get out breaks. I just got one about a month and half ago. I didnt take any medican for a couple weeks. Finnaly I decided to take some medican for a week. They started to go away. After taking the correct dosage for a week I scratched the herpes and they came back. Now it has been a month and a half and there still there. I feel that they cluster of bumbs turned into a cluster of bumbs on a big bumb. What should I do. Is this just from scratching to much or is it infected?

HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Herpes has recurred because of inadequate treatment or because of repeat exposure sexually with a person infected with Herpes.

Herpes usually causes small blisters and not big bumps . I would recommend you get it examined by your doctor properly and then get the treatment. Don't ever scratch it , it causes secondary infection over that.

Also make sure your partner with whom you have sex ( if at all ) is also tested and treated .

Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarifications feel free to ask .

Regards.
