I'm very paranoid about spreading the herpes. This outbreak on a part of my body that has never been affected before substantiates my fear. So last night I was concerned about accidentally wiping herpes on my pillow case in my sleep and spreading it to my cheek or ear or chin. So Matt and I put a bandage over it, which kept both the herpes and the acyclovir cream on my nose. Normally, I take antiviral pills when I get an outbreak, but since I'm pregnant the doctor prefers spot treating with antiviral cream. The bandage stayed on all night, which helped me sleep better because I didn't fear reinfecting myself. And it definitely make's a fashion statement: somewhere between a beak and bandanna.
