yes. genital herpes will be recurrent for the rest of your life. they will eventually go away from this outbreak but there are prescription medications that may make any future outbreaks less often (although three years since your last outbreak is good) and reduce some of the discomfort that you are experiencing now.
i was diagnos with type 1 genital herpes 3 years ago and now thinks it has reocurred. will the sores go away on thier own. i notice two white sores on my genitals yesterday. i feel well but have had a lot of stress in my life lately. will i need to seek treatment or will they go away on their own as my initial outbreak was three years ago.
