any advice?

hey guys, so i recently was just tested positive for ghsv2 2 days ago (ive had the outbreak symptoms for over a week now) but i just started my period this morning. the outbreak is in the perineum/close to vag opening so its already been hard to keep the area dry. is there anything i should do during my period to help continue the healing? i been taking valtrex and the pain has already reduced since starting to take it friday night. im just obviously new to this since i just found out and just trying to learn the best ways to work with this new thing im dealing with. thanks!
