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!

Try lysene. It is available in the vitamin section of like Walmart etc. It is suppose to help cut down on outbreaks as well. Maybe try those over the counter creams , abreiva (sp?) I am not sure of the correct spelling but try something like that. I have also read that for cold sores like on lips one can try a chap stick to cut down on outbreaks.

Try to keep the area as clean as possible as well ans taking medicine. Don't be stressed out. Keep the area dry. Use mild creams like a hydrocordizone for the itching, good luck!

Go to the doctor and see about valtrex. You cant use over the counter stuff cause it don't work. Go see a doctor.

Abreva if it on your mouth.
Go get medication such as Valtrex for Genital
