Worst breakout ever?

Herpes

For over the past month I have had either a bad rash in my genital area or a bad hsv breakout. Depending on the day it either itches like crazy or no problems at all. The skin around the area is red, but I can't see any lesions. I have been under extreme stress lately, and I have been told that stress can bring on an outbreak. This has been going on for over a month, I took Valtrex to see if it would help but to no avail. This is extremely uncomfortable, I've tried ointments to help with the itchiness as well as taking long baths to soothe it. Ive change my body wash to see if that was the cause, but nothing has changed if anything it seems to have spread. Can someone tell me how to deal with this, I don't know how much longer I can take this!

Hello,

You can have a mild outbreak without blisters on the outside. Try taking Benadry, it helps with the itching. Think you need to see your doctor. Hope you feel better.
