I had a cold sore that i treated with Zovirax. Part of the area still looks red about 2 weeks after it has dried and healed. Is this normal? Does it mean that the area is still highly contagious?:confused:

I find that if I pick the scab off too soon, it will leave a bright red scar. Bigger sores will leave the red mark as well. Doesn't mean you are contagious; it is just a scar.

      Outbreaks on valacyclovir

      By Dutchy · Posted

      Hi! I was diagnosed one year and four months ago. Not a major first outbreak. Than 2,5 months later my second. Then faster a Little ob. Then is was without for almost 7 months. I really felt that was how i could handle things. Then in June i started having ob after ob. It was a very hot summer here in Holland. Also started a new relationship so more frequent sexual Activity. Not sure what coused it but those things i did feel like could trigger it.  Started acyclivir two months ago. That helps a great deal. But really dont want to Stay on Anti virals. Willing to try natural stuff but also right now feeling very happy not worrying all the time. Need to discuss again with my doctor soon.

      Oh wow that sounds mind boggling,, maybe your diet is your problem as well. Dang I thought guys had it a little easier seeing as tho you could keep your ob's dry better than a woman for it to heal..  I've never heard of Neem what's is that
