Brief answer.

Itching is a part of herpes symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you writing in healthcaremagic.

Based on your data, you should know that itching is a part of herpes symptoms and not side effects.
Usually herpes could cause tingling, burning or itching sensation in the area where blisters will appear.
Please could you send me a picture of your groin area and do you have still blisters.

So, in your case if you have still blisters I think is better to use acyclovir tb and cream as well.

Both of these drugs are antifungal treatment but Zeasorb has been prescribe more effective.

I hope my answer helps you.
Regards.
