Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the genital herpes do leave dry skin marks with itchy rashes during the recovery phase of stage 1. However, over a period of times, it heals without residual scarring or other ill effects. Kindly continue your anti viral medications as per the guidance of your treating doctor and take care of
- Genital hygiene
- Avoidance of sexual intercourse till advise of your doctor.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
