I think I may be having a Herpes outbreak because I'm having itching that is very annoying in my rectum and sores are starting to appear. Is there anything that I can use or do to soothe the itching. Thanks!

If you haven't started taking your medicine yet - you should now.
I find warm bathes help me out a lot. Take a nice warm bubble bath and when you are done dry your genital area off with a blow dryer. I know, it sounds stupid but it works and my doctor told me to do it too. Rubbing your genital area dry with a towel can spread the sores. Then put on some nice soft cotton underwear and some nice pajama pants. Avoid having anything real tight fitting on. You can also try and put an ice pack on to try and numb the pain a little bit. And you can always take some Ibuprofen for the pain. Good luck to you! I know how bad it can get!
