Herpes simplex virus (HSV) outbreaks can be painful and are triggered by exposure to the sun, fever, emotional stress, a weakened immune system, or an illness.
Before an actual outbreak you usually feel tingling, itching, burning, pain, or even flu-like symptoms in a particular area for a day or two. It is common for an outbreak to occur in the same spot as previous outbreaks. When any of these symptoms occur, begin applying NeoGenesis Recovery serum immediately to the spot and continue spot treating 4 times a day.
Recovery serum will begin to deliver healing nutrients to the skin that are needed to slow or stop the progress of the outbreak. While naturally speeding up the healing time, Recovery may also reduce any pain and discomfort associated with the lesions. It also assists in scarless healing, as the lesions may be deep and create a scar in the delicate tissue of the skin.
Once the lesion is beginning to dissipate, continue the use of Recovery two to four times daily until the area is healed. If possible, gently cleanse the area with the NeoGenesis Cleanser before the Recovery serum.
For any dryness or scabbing, use NeoGenesis Intensive Moisturizer or Barrier Renewal Cream to keep the area hydrated. Apply after Recovery and use as needed throughout the day.
The sun is a major factor in contributing to the Herpes Simplex Virus so make sure you also use a good chemical free sunscreen over the area.
