After a really bad herpes outbreak(I started taking valacyclovir a little late, after the blisters had already scabbed), which consisted of blisters covering every bit of my lips, I found a couple red, itchy blotches on my thighs. After a day they were spreading and I found a couple spots on my cheek and my earlobe was also inflamed. The rash has now spread down my neck. It is extremely irritating at all times, but the rash on my face is only visually noticeable after I take a hot shower.
