Skin problems

[Darkness247]

Was wondering if anyone had the problem of the affected area not completely going back to original color. Have been infected four past four months now and have had several OBs that were pretty small but in same area.

This site helped a lot with tips on shortening OB times but I always feel like this goddamn virus is right under my skin waiting. The area is always a little swollen and if I touch it too much i start to feel that tingling. Also, the skin around the area is still not returning to its original color (brown) where the small blisters were. They are this off white color that is noticeable when i'm not erect, just to remind me about this fu kin nightmare.

So far I take 1000 mg Lysine, vitamin C, Zinc daily, and about 1000mg valtrex when I have an OB. Oh and I use the Purell (thanks BlackWatch).

Any tips on improving my skin and pushing this virus back down my spine for some breathing room? I'm trying to stay positive but it sucks being alone and I can't bring myself to date again till I get this thing in order.

its created scar tissue. you can help it with numerous things like coco butter, vit e oil, emu oil etc... but it takes a while for a scar to fully heal but the more you treat it the faster it will do it then just looking at it everyday.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try that but I thought you are supposed to keep the area as dry as possible so I thought lotions and creams will make it too moist therefore causing another outbreak.

I got some cocoa butter which i'll try, if you or anyone else can suggest anything specific let me know.

you should keep it dry during a outbreak, so it helps draw out the puss and ozz and whatever else that is in the sores, so they can heal faster.

if you dont have any sores, its perfectly fine to slap some lotion on it.
