Herpes

Herpes simplex virus (HSV), known as herpes, is a common infection that can cause painful blisters or ulcers. It primarily spreads by skin-to-skin contact. It is treatable but not curable.

We can prescribe medication (to apply and take orally) to manage the symptoms of an outbreak and to help the sores (if any) heal faster.
