I am married and age 28 yrs. I have been suffering from sores on my genitals from last 3-4 days. I consulted a senior dermatologist, he prescribed me herpex cream and zovirax tablets 400 mg, does it mean I have genital herpes? But doctor is saying its due to viral, it will be cured. Please advice I am very confused?

As you have taken the dermatologist opinion ,it's mostly herpes .but don't worry herpes get cured but follow instructions as per your doctor. As you r married ,avoid sex n if your parnter is complaining of rash or discharge ,she should undergo examination either frm gynecologist or dermatologist.
