I have applied corticosteroids and pimecrolimus cream prescribed by my GP and dermatologist, with no resolution.
I’m currently in maintenance treatment with petroleum jelly based ointment, but the irritation is still present. Would a layer of petroleum jelly serve as a barrier for HSV-2 transmission?
