Avatar n tn she then started me on a 3 day suppossitory with external itch cream which I used but I think the cream broke me out because that same night I felt a cut on my labia. which  brings me here, my concern was could I have herpes :( I went bac to my doc who said its prob from the yeast or from the cream but I'm not 100 comfortable with that so I went to planned parenthood who did a swab of the cut which was negative for herpes but  I still have the yeast! anybody know what could be going on??
Avatar m tn Some chamomile baths would help it a bit. And go to your pharmacy for some cream like acyclovir ( zovirax ) to apply although this should be take orally to be more effective, only a doctor could prescribe pills for this condition. Do something!!!
Avatar n tn Which one is better for subsequent genital herpes o/b......acyclovir cream or ointment?What is the difference between the cream and the ointment?Thanks.
Avatar n tn Whilst I agree with your Dad taking lots of medications not being a good idea there are some conditions that require them and HSV can in some cases be one of them particularly when a person is having recurrent outbreaks,if you have been under stress lately then that is most likely the reason for them,I would advise rather than using Acyclovir cream to take Acyclovir Tablets as a Suppressive Therapy for a bit to lessen your outbreaks it involves taking 2 tablets a day for as long as you feel it n
Avatar m tn Continue with acyclovir for the rest of the week. There are also acyclovir creams that could be applied topically. However, acyclovir cream does not eliminate the herpes virus, it is not a cure, and it does not prevent transmission to others. It works by stopping viral replication. Ask your doctor about this option. If the rash persists, inform your doctor about this for further evaluation.
Avatar m tn Also on top of that, rubbing acyclovir cream on the whole area.
4691073 tn?1391700431 I applied acyclovir cream for couple of day nothing get smaller or bigger. I take 1000 mg Valtrex for 1 weeks still nothing happened. I don't have any sypmtoms or prodromes. I touch the bump several times and no feeling no pain nothing at all ( I thought maybe valtrex stoping the sypmtoms of an OB). I had a cryptic on my tonsil and I am using antibiotics for that. The cryptic tonsil healed and nothing now.
Avatar m tn that is shingles, i dint know cream bases acyclovir exist, probably works only for simplex viruses. you will need oral acyclovir to treat it.
Avatar f tn Is there any herpes cream or oinment that I can buy to help the pain for my bumps that are raw? I'm taking Acyclovir pills as directed by my doctor. Please help asap.
Avatar f tn My phys assistant says herpes over the phone, told me to increase famvir and use an acyclovir cream. I am still waiting to see if there is a result.
Avatar m tn I have been reading the posts online and realise that herpes symptoms can be very hard to diagnose but I have been HSV-2 negative 4 weeks ago when i did a IgG Antibody Test. HSV Type 1 came back at 16 (IgG as well). She did however prescribe me Acyclovir Cream to apply on my penis saying that it doesn't affect my condition and also anti-fungal cream as well. For the past 4 days, my penis shaft has continued to itch and hurt.
Avatar f tn it's unfortunate that your provider dropped the ball and didn't do proper testing on you :( Has your regular partner been tested to know their status too? Don't assume anything and make sure they get tested too. acyclovir cream is pretty much useless for speeding the healing of herpes. sounds like the moisturizing of the cream itself is helping you , not the fact that it's acyclovir cream ( hope that makes sense ).
Avatar m tn i had a shiny hump on the left side of my urethral lining, i visited my doctor about two months ago and he suggested that it was herpes ulcer and prescribed acyclovir cream. now its all reddish inside but the left hump has decreased in size j but the seam to be some fleshy stuff growing on the right side, causes a tingly sensation and at time discomfort pain like i touched it with chillies on my fingers. i am confused , could this really be herpes or warts.
Avatar f tn I was percribed Triamcinolone Acetonide cream by my doc but i dont think its working because they are still very painful.
Avatar m tn He suggested betnovate GM and acyclovir. I applied the cream and took the tablets. However, next day the red spots reduced and by next evening they were gone. My  question is 1) wont Betnovate inflame  HSV 2) can acyclovir act so quickly and 3) were the symptoms already during the fade period and hence the medication reacted quickly and finally could I have contracted herpes.
Avatar f tn REcently broke out with a bad herpes sore on my lip and currently taking 1mg of valtrex along with topical cream. Anyone know other remedies to treat the sore along with what I am currently doing.
Avatar m tn no it will not be. if you have symptoms, you need a lesion culture done.
Avatar m tn I started having very mild genital herpes outbreaks about eight months ago, and for this outbreak (only one small blister) I decided to take acyclovir tablets and acyclovir cream. I have no pain or itching. I have taken it for a day and a half, 200 mg every 4 hours, omitting the nighttime dose. My blister is pretty much gone, and Im wondering, would it be okay to stop taking the acyclovir? I read everywhere that Im supposed to take it for 5 days, but is it for the same reason as antibiotics?
Avatar n tn doctor, thanks for your quick response. my only worry was that of using the Herperax (acyclovir) cream. is it used in other treatment other than herpes? If wanted to go for consulting what doctor should I visit? Internal Medicine or Urologist? I appreciate your support.
Avatar m tn The next day I thoguht I had blemishes on my penis, but everything went away almost immediately while taking the acyclovir. The next two weeks, still under a lot of stress and anxiety and still taking acyclovir I had an achy groin and muscle aches in the back of just one leg. It did finally go to the other leg but for a shorter period. Now I have developed blemishes, not sores or white ***** pimples, in the torso area and no clusters.
Avatar f tn "Also, I'm hesitant to use valtrex or acyclovir for my first outbreak because I want to develop the strongest antibodies that my body can produce with out suppressive drugs. Is this idiotic?
Avatar m tn went to the emergency room and the doctor was unsure he prescribed anti fungal cream and acyclovir....
Avatar m tn At the time, ill informed, i couldnt risk passing onto my wife. I began taking acyclovir regularly (cream) and the episodes were coming every 3 months or so. I moved about a lot and used protection however i did infect several other women over the years. About 5 years ago i became addicted to methamphetamine. It was an intermittent habit as my work kept me traveling and involved urinalysis so i was doing it one month and abstaining the next.
Avatar m tn I been using Nystatin cream but read I should be using Acyclovir cream.
Avatar m tn the name of the cream was candida cream
