If you’re embarrassed by herpes and want to improve or prevent flare-ups, our dermatology specialists at Regency will be more than happy to treat your condition. This condition can be bothersome, but it is very manageable.
Herpes simplex virus is categorized into 2 types: herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2). HSV-1 causes painful lesions of the mouth, commonly referred to as “cold sores” or “fever blisters”. HSV-2 causes lesions of the genital and perianal regions (genital herpes).
At Regency Specialties, we prioritize patient comfort and confidentiality. We offer a variety of oral and topical anti-viral and analgesic treatments that can significantly reduce the frequency and intensity of HSV-associated flare-ups, as well as help prevent transmission of the virus to others. Please Contact us if you are experiencing symptoms or would like to understand prevention.
