Diagnosis
If you think you have genital rashes, it is very
important to see your healthcare provider for a
diagnosis. Knowing that you have the virus is the
first step to managing the condition and getting
treatment.
Because some people with genital rashes do not have
symptoms, your healthcare provider may have to do lab
tests to check for HSV. Even the best rashes experts
often cannot be certain of the diagnosis just by
looking at the rash. A blood test will also tell if an
infection is due to HSV-1 or HSV-2. If you have sores
or blisters, your provider may also take a swab of the
sore, which can then be tested for HSV.
The diagnosis isn't always easy because symptoms vary
from person to person. Also, symptoms come and go, and
might not be there when you visit your healthcare
provider.
Treatment
Medical doctors would give antiviral drugs for the
treatment of HSV -2.
Acyclovir may cause nausea when taken orally. If given
through infection the drug can cause kidney damage and
may produce symptoms such as confusion and seizures.
Amantadine causes reactions such as dizziness,
confusion and insomnia. Bauciclovir may cause skin
rashes and nausea. It can also reduce red blood cell
production, causing anemia, and white blood cell
production increasing susceptibility to infections. It
can damage kidneys. Ribvarin can cause anemia.
If you need to take drugs, ask from your doctors for
drugs that do not have side-effects
