Herpes: Symptoms and Treatment Information
from:The Herpes Virus is highly contagious. 60%-80% of the US adult
population have one or both of the main strains of Herpes virus
hominus. 90% are unaware of their infection.
Herpes Simples 1 generally affects the mouth in the form of cold
sores (fever blisters). Herpes Simplex 2 affects the genital
area.
Herpes Outbreaks are generally readily evident: symptoms
- usually develop within 20 days of contact;
- may last up to 2 weeks;
- may not be noticed - very mild - or may result in sores in or
around the mouth (Cold Sores) or genital area (Genital Herpes)
the symptoms of Herpes on and aorund the infected area include
pain, itchiness, and a burning or tingling sensation before
outbreaks
- painful inflamed blisters develop around infected area
- headache
- muscle ache
- fever
- vaginal or penis discharge
- infection of the urethra causing a burning sensation during
urination
- a burning sensation in the genitals
- swollen lymph glands
- lower back pain
Treatments Options
Many Herpes medications, such as topical creams and ointments,
often do not penetrate the cell membranes and may therefore
aggravate the outbreak as well as prolong the healing process.
Experts strongly advise against the any kind of topical
cortisone-type cream to treat Herpes as this can suppress the
local immunity and may worsen your herpes outbreaks
significantly.
Many other herpes remedys contain alcohol, which can further
irritate the infected area; or may contain lidocaine and
benzocaine - designed to numb, they are only partially effective
and can lead to allergic reactions.

It is important to note that the term 'alternative' when
referring to treatment simply means that the medication contains
no drugs, and therefore does not require approval by the FDA.
This is also why many doctors do not proscribe them - for their
own insurance purposes. Anything not FDA approved leaves your GP
open to being sued. Your GP does the best job he can within
government limitations. Many natural 'alternatives' are highly
effective. This is one.
Remeber Herpes in any form, as a cold sore or in the form of
genital herpes, is highly contagious. If you have it treat it,
don't spread it.
