I am already a pensioner, but I have been suffering from herpes for a long time - for years. I break out in the same place - lips and bottoms, same time of year - October and March
I rub in ointments, but they don't help me much. Will I never get rid of this disease?

Unfortunately, with herpes viruses found in almost 90% of people, one has to live for the rest of their days. Try to avoid frequent flare-ups.
In addition to the ointment you are using, we advise you to take drugs that suppress the reproduction of the virus. As soon as you feel that herpes "raises its head" - take the pill. The sooner you do it, the faster the exacerbation of the infection will pass. And maybe you can avoid its manifestation.
The infection is activated due to a decrease in immunity. The cause may be stress (physical and emotional), lack of vitamins, hypothermia and other infectious diseases that undermine the body's defenses. You should check your immune status and consult your doctor about how best to correct it.
