Genital herpes symptoms, and how Lemonaid can help
Lemonaid is an online doctor's office. So long as this isn't your first genital herpes outbreak, our doctors or nurse practitioners can prescribe an effective anti-viral genital herpes treatment online.
Genital herpes is a pain. It can affect the genitals, upper thighs, buttocks or hips.
Symptoms come on once a year to every few months, and include:
- Clear blisters that break open into painful ulcers
- Skin irritation, cuts or fissures
- Vaginal irritation or fissures
There are two kinds of treatment. Anti-viral medicine for an outbreak you have now is taken for 1 to 5 days, depending on which medicine you choose. Daily preventative treatment ('suppression') costs $50 for 3 months with FREE, discreet delivery.
Genital herpes outbreak treatment
Got an outbreak right now? Prescription antiviral medication can reduce how long your genital herpes outbreak lasts. You take it for 1 to 5 days, depending on which you choose.
Lemonaid prescribes three options for an outbreak — Acyclovir 800 mg, Valacyclovir 500 mg and Famciclovir 500 mg. They are equally effective and differ in how long you take them and what the medicine costs.

FAQs
Genital herpes treatment: common questions
Treatment, risks, costs and who we can't help — answered in plain English.
Can Lemonaid treat my first genital herpes outbreak?
No. See a doctor or nurse practitioner in person if this is your first outbreak.
Once you've been diagnosed before, our doctors or nurse practitioners can prescribe anti-viral treatment online.
What are the risks of getting genital herpes treatment online?
We rely upon your answers to our health questions to decide if it's safe to give you genital herpes medication online. There's a chance we could give you anti-viral herpes medicines when you don't in fact have genital herpes.
We're more likely to make the wrong diagnosis if this is your first herpes outbreak. That's why you shouldn't use Lemonaid if this is your very first genital herpes outbreak.
