I am in the same boat..this is my third outbreak this year. Each time, it seems to get worse. On the first two outbreaks, thedoctor gave my cortizone tabletsand they provided significant reliefe. But this time he refused, saying that the cure is worse than the disease. I am going it alone...trying everything that is out there, including washes, creams, sprays and oral otc meds. It's difficult to understand why the medical community cannot figure this one out. I guess there isn't enough money in it to justify the research. It definitely should not be taken lightly - it is a serious problem.
