Question: how long does it take to get rid of a herpes outbreak?
Answer: Herpes causes blisters and ulcers. These can be painful but normally clear up within 2-3 weeks. However, the virus will remain dormant in your body and it is normal for herpes outbreaks to reoccur. There is no cure for herpes, but there are things you can do to ease discomfort and avoid outbreaks.
