i have had this condition for a few years now. i know all about valtrex and other prescriptions - i'm just looking for something that will help the itching!
and no, i am not promiscous, and yes, i am well informed about the diesease and i know there is no cure. i'm not looking for opinions on my lifestyle please, just a way to deal with the itch until the herpe goes away (I get outbreaks maybe once a year, and it's always just one herpe, goes away in about a week but sometimes the itch is too much)
thank you in advance for serious answers! :)

You could always take some diphenhydramine (brand name: Benadryl) for the itching. It usually makes people a little sleepy though, just a FYI.
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!

Hi there,
Black Walnut has been used to treat fungal and bacterial infections; it has also been used to help herpes flare ups. I have seen it in tincture form but not yet as an ointment or cream. It can be applied directly to the skin but since tinctures are alcohol based I would only use a little on a cotton swab and apply a little as it can cause a burning sensation. If it persists don't use it that way. Again, as a tincture it is safe to injest. Injesting it may help to speed up the length of the outbreak but it might not directly solve the itch and burn. Again, you may be able to find it as a cream I just have never looked for it.
Cheers.

I got diagnosed with herpes type 2 about seven years ago, when I was still in college and had a stupid 1 night stand. I know a lot of girls will say this but I swear I never did that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and, suddenly, it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl who has sores around her "you know what" area? But after a friend shared this video https://tr.im/JiQKv everything changed. Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just last week, in front of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This program gave me back the chance to be happy, and to experience true love again. Now I want to help by sharing this with others.

I am absolutely terrified and I feel so alone. I just found out last week that I tested positive for hsv1 and 2. I have been with the same man for the past 10 years and within the last year found out that he has cheated on me with numerous women. I am so scared that I can give it to my children by kissing them and them eating with me...I feel like my whole life has changed. And even though the nurses, my doctor, and websites say that a lot of people have it I still feel like I am by myself. My self esteem has dropped and I feel like I have been used up. But now, My life is very happy.

aloe vera is supposed to be soothing on freshly waxed skin, so it might help calm that area of skin. Insect bites/sting sprays/creams are anti itching, so that may help as well, but i'd check it out w/ your dr first
best of luck
