Silver Nitrate Cauterization of Genital Herpes Sore

I was diagnosed with HSV-1 Genital two years ago. Since then I have had one small outbreak that lasted only a few days and I take daily suppressive therapy, which I feel has contributed to the lack of frequent outbreaks. I have just experienced one outbreak and have had an open ulcer for 3 weeks now. I have been taking a double dosage of valtrex as well as many vitamins and it won’t heal. I finally went back to my doctor today and he decided to cauterize it with silver nitrate. Has anyone experienced this before? He seems to think it will help it finally close and heal.

      (For my case: i am not diagnosed herpes. I had genital warts. 
      I can tell her a sex partner was diagnosed with HPV, and i pretty surely have it and that's why i do it with boxer short the next months. Hm.)   https://herpesopportunity.com/downloads/herpes-opportunity-disclosure-handout.pdf https://www.cdc.gov/std/herpes/stdfact-herpes-detailed.htm

      Help!! atypical symptoms?? Pictures

      Hi,  I was wondering if you could describe your outbreaks or how much time it passed before you where correctly diagnosed. Or your overall experience. I am freaking out and just wearing my underwear feels uncomfortable.  How did they diagnosed you? Thank you in advanced

      News from the FDA

      I THINK this will benefit us. If the FDA allows more aggressive research in the deadliest virus programs, such as HIV gene editing, then off-targeting and other safety issues might already be solved before Dr. Jerome  starts editing hsv in humans.
