I was just diagnosed with herpes about 3 days ago, one of the saddest days of my life knowing that I've had been faithful to my partner since we got together and now I have it, I'm just a young teen and should have taken better care of myself. These outbreaks right now hurt however the doctor told me to put A and D ointment on the affected area which is my vaginal area and ive been putting it on since day one and the sores are not getting any better, I'm also taking medication which supposedly will help with the outbreaks. Why aren't they healing up quicker??
