OK, I'm fed up with it now. It has exited the "cluster of angry boiling blisters" phase and entered the "weepy peeling wet bran flake" stage. I have used a whole tube of Zovirax and as much earwax as I could scrape out of my ears, but the bastard is still burgeoning. Any folk remedies? The more ridiculous the better?

Hello,

Sorry, I'm new to this website and I don't know if you Zovirax using ladies are pregnant or not. Do you know if Zovirax is safe in pregnancy?

Thank you!

er, i'm pg and have been using it in the last week

will check the leaflet and revert (although everything seems to say 'consult your pharmacist/doc if pg/bfing' doesn't it)

Thank you, BrandyTutter. It's not easy for me to get to a chemist from where I live, so better to check first...
I was actually off to check with the local GP but can't find the blooming house keys - (pregnancy fog brain?), so I'm stuck here until I find them. Oh, joy.

unsurprisingly, it says you should consult your doctor before using it if you are pg

i'd be tempted to phone your local pharamcist - might save you a trip
