I have had several outbreaks since then, but they were all pretty minor (1-2
sores). I was taking
Valtrex daily
for about a month and a half, but I developed what appeared to be cystic acne the whole time I was on it. As soon as I stopped, my skin cleared up, but I had another outbreak, so I went back on it and my skin started to break out again. I've never read anything about that being a side effect, but it was the only explanation.
