Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for your query to XXXXXXX
Herpes genitalia is a chronic infection and can occur again and again. Most of the times it is treated periodically but when repeated episodes occur at very close intervals then suppressive therapy with acyclovir for an year is the treatment of choice to decrease the repetition s.
You should conduct your nearby dermatologist for starting the same.
