Answers:
If required, take a painkiller, e!.g!. ibuprofen, paracetamol or soluble aspirin!. This reduces pain and inflammation!. (Always follow manufacturers' instructions - and don't take aspirin if you have been told not to by a doctor!.)
Wash your hands before touching blisters/sores (e!.g!. when applying medication) as you could introduce bacteria!. This could cause an additional infection and delay the healing process!.
Apply a local anaesthetic ointment, e!.g!. Lignagel 2 % or lidocaine 5% ointment (this used to be called lignocaine)!. These may be used on genital or facial sores!. If you need a stronger anaesthetic try Xylocaine 10% spray!. Dab on (or spray on) as required to relieve pain, especially before urinating - see below!. (These are all available from a pharmacy without a prescription!.) Occasionally lignocaine/xylocaine can cause hypersensitivity!. If it makes your skin more sore, stop using it and your skin will return to normal!.
Keep the sores moist, e!.g!. apply petroleum jelly/Vaseline!.
Keep the area clean: washing gently once a day is sufficient!. Many people have found a warm salt water solution (1 teaspoon to 1 pint water) very soothing!. Gently bathe the area using cotton wool!.
Avoid scented soap and deodorants!. It is best not to use wipes, gel or soap in this area, but if you do, use an unscented brand!.
Avoid over-washing as this can increase irritation and delay healing!.
Dab dry carefully with a tissue after washing or use a hair dryer set at 'cold'!.
To reduce itching, keep the area as cool as is practical: try an ice pack well-wrapped in cloth for as long as you like (90 minutes)!. DO NOT put ice directly on the skin!.
Women who experience pain when peeing during a first episode can try peeing while in the bath or shower, or sitting on the edge of the bath and pouring water over the area!. This will dilute the urine and ease discomfort!. Or pee through a tube or into a bottle to prevent urine coming into contact with the sores!. You can put lignocaine/lidocaine BP ointment on the area about 15 minutes before urinating to anaesthetize the area, or use petroleum jelly/Vaseline or Orabase on the sore as a barrier!.

That happened to me before, it is because your pee is acidic so it will make it sting!. Like one of the posts above me, drink lots of water and keep the area dry!. It sucks right now because it stings but as it heals it will get better and peeing will have never felt so good haha!
Also again like the post above me, ignore all of the name calling, they are just immature a**holes who think they are the center of the earth!. 1 in 4 women have herpes and 1 in 5 men have it, we are not alone :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm in the same boat, my outbreaks are extremely painful!.
When you pee, pour cold ice water over your genitals, that will help releive some of the pain!. Take ibuprofen to reduce some of the swelling down there, put ice on the blisters, or even tea bags (black tea works best) keep them in the freezer and then put them on after!. Try taking the vitamin L-Lysine as that will also help, and make sure to drink lots and lots of water!. That way your pee is less acidic, and when you pee it will be a bit more comfortable!.
Keep the sores dry, after showering or cleaning them, use the cool setting on a hair dryer over the sores, this will help them heal faster!. Also, make sure to wear very loose cotton underwear to keep the area dry and free of sweat and bacteria!.
Ignore people that are calling you a whore, thats a bunch of immature BS, this can happen to anyone!. I've only been with one guy for 3 years and it happened to me, I am in no way a whore!.
Hope it clears up soon, hang in there!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Antiviral drug and ask for ointment too when you see a physician!. Antiviral ointment alone can alleviate the onset and pain if you start it in the very beginning stage of an outbreak!. Right now your best bet is to seek a medical help asap and start taking pills!. There are several different kinds!.!.!.but they all work!.
Sorry!.!.!.you are in so much pain, but the help is there, alrighty !? :):}Www@Answer-Health@Com
