After blisters from herpes appear, I experience pain, irritation, and itching. What should I do? I have been affected by the virus for 8-9 years.
Take antiviral tablets like acyclovir or valacyclovir to help reduce pain and speed healing. Keep the area clean, avoid scratching, and use pain relievers if needed. Apply cool compresses and consult a doctor if pain is severe or sores keep recurring.
