This is an comprehensive article on the accessible therapy for genital herpes: drugs for the virus, remedies for the blisters, alternative therapies. The latest research into the herpes virus area, not yet brought in for mass consumption will be talked about in a distinct blog post.
Before reading the rest of the information, pay attention, do not try to self-diagnose or self-medicate at home. To know for sure that you have contacted genital herpes you need to visit the doctor. They will diagnose you by a visual inspection if the outbreak is typical, and by taking a sample from the sore(s) and testing it in a laboratory. HSV infections can be diagnosed between outbreaks by the use of a blood test.
There are several forms and cures on the market right now; what is true about them all is that they have different results for different people, so the best thing for you might be, with the help of your doctor, to try different approaches and find out the one that works best.
FDA approved antiviral prescription drugs. ( These kinds of drugs will not destroy the herpes virus; rather they slow down its growth, this means that reduce the severity and length of the outbreaks). These are the so called Antivirals. They keep the virus under control by aiding people stay symptom-free for a longer time and lower the severity and duration of symptoms once they flare up. There are actually three major drugs widely used to treat genital herpes symptoms: acyclovir (Zovirax), famciclovir (Famvir), and valacyclovir (Valtrex). Each one of them are being discussed separately here:

OTC antiviral like drugs. (These medications claim they can have the same or much better effect than the first group of drugs, but they are cheaper and do not need prescription. Needless to say you will discover controversies about them; will discuss that carefully)
Herbal remedies, vitamins and supplements. (Some are formulas used on the surface of the dermis to supply comfort during breakouts but they’re not attacking the virus. Others have medium to limited efficiency against the virus, either by enhancing the immune system or by attacking the virus (unverified claims))
The virus that produces the genital blisters doesn’t have a cure, it rests in your system your entire lifetime and surfaces with different regularities. The primary purpose of the present therapies for herpes would be to make the virus surface as rarely as possible and when it surfaces to make the process bare-able.
