Question: Doc, u suggested to close the earlier discussion.
I was taking Herparex 400 and Minolux for HSV 1, have taken for 10 days and stopped 4 days back.

My lesions have decreased but see some new one still appearning here and there, as suggested am maintaining hygiene etc.. do you recommend me taking Accolivir for next 1 week...

Just want them to get over fully,

look for your advice.

Doc, my HSV1 IGG shows high result and IGM was low... how will Tzanck smear a different result not clear, hence I was put on Herparex 400 course of 10 days

also my HSV 2 IGG/ IGM were low (not positive)

Does your advise change or still stay with topical antiviral...

also for last 3-4 days have these itching sensation across the body and when I scratch the body it turns red and if I stop then the redness and feeling of itchiness also goes in 30 mins or so but I feel itchiness at different parts of my body, are these side effects of Herparex or minolux....

Also can you suggest name for topical antiviral... that would help.

Thanks, but have completed my medicine course of 10 days, do I need further treatment, what that would be...

I take allegra and the itching reduces significantly.

thank you. will follow ur advise

Doc, this itchy feeling across various part of body is not stopping and increases in the evening. Feeling is so much that I end up itchy the body portions and the skin patch of 3-4 inch turns red, but after a while the itchy feeling from that body area goes away and within next 30-45 mins the skin redness also disappears there are no boils or lesions... but the itchy feeling starts on another part of my body. And this itching is not happening that much in the areas where boils/ lesions were/ are present.

This is going on for last 4-5 days.... are these side effects for Herparex 400 or Minolux that I took for 10 days... what do I do?

And the feeling subsides within 1-2 hours of me taking Allegra 180 (have been taking Allegra for last 2 days - 1 tablet in the night after itching becomes severe and unable to stop)

Antihistamine for how many times in a day... for how long.

Allegra is giving relief for 24 hours
