I have a first herpes outbreak and I can't see a doctor. Are there any complications if I don't take the medication?

It is recommended to seek medical advice and start antiviral medication as soon as possible when experiencing symptoms of herpes. Starting treatment early can help prevent the replication of the virus and shorten the duration of an outbreak. It is not uncommon for new lesions to appear even after starting treatment, as herpes is a contagious virus.
