Whats the best way to clean the area when your infected with genital Herpes.?

A couple things help me when I am having an outbreak.First, the medication. She needs to be taking some kind of anti-viral medication, like Valtrex, acyclovir, or famvir. These are all used on herpes outbreaks. Also, if she is in a lot of pain, she should take an Ibuprofen or two, or maybe even some prescription pain medication, like Vicodin. I was in SO much pain during my first outbreak I was prescribed Vicodin. And second, she needs to be as comfortable as she can! No tight fitting pants or underware. PJ pants are the best and soft cotton underware. What helped me too was to take A LOT of bathes! And, this is going to sound stupid, but it works, and my doctor told me to do it – have her blow dry her genital area dry – never wipe dry! Wiping can irritate the area even more and also spread the sores. Blow-drying the area on low heat is best. I know how she feels! I was in horrible pain during my first outbreak. I even had to call off of work for two days! Good luck to her!
