I'm sorry to hear you're still experiencing symptoms despite taking acyclovir. As an STD assistant, I want to provide you with a caring and supportive response.

Acyclovir is an antiviral medication commonly prescribed to treat herpes outbreaks. However, it may not completely eliminate all symptoms, especially itching and sores, in every case. The effectiveness can vary from person to person.

It's important to continue taking the medication as prescribed and give it some time to work. If symptoms persist or worsen after completing the full course, I would recommend consulting your healthcare provider. They may want to re-evaluate your condition and potentially adjust your treatment plan.

In the meantime, try to avoid scratching the sores as that can lead to further irritation and potential spreading of the virus. Over-the-counter hydrocortisone creams can provide relief from itching. Keeping the area clean and dry can also help promote healing.

Please don't hesitate to express any other concerns you may have. Your health and well-being are important. While I cannot provide specific medical advice, I'm here to listen with empathy and understanding during this challenging time. Seeking guidance from a medical professional is highly recommended for proper evaluation and treatment.
