Will I ever "grow out" of my HSV infection?
I've been infected with herpes labialis for as long as I can remember, and each time I get it, it affects me worse than the last. Not only is my face and nose scarred from years of persistent infection, every time it flares up I become depressed and extremely self-conscious. My self esteem plummets. I hate having these stupid bumps on my face. A couple days ago, I got sunburned, which triggered a large flare up. I have three spots on my face, one of which is over an inch in diameter. I have graduation, awards day, and a concert coming up within the next week, and I can't feel fine until it goes away. My question is will I ever grow out of it? I'm only 13, is there a possibility that they could go away when I get older? Some may think that I'm being a little dramatic, but the psychological effects of this disease are crippling. I just want it to go away. Could that ever happen? Thanks.
