Coping + tips

I recently got diagnosed with HSV 2. I received it from this guy I had been with for about 2 years. He had it and never told me about it/sleeping around behind my back. This has been the worst thing to happen to me considering how badly it hit me. I have another illness that wasn’t well managed (diabetes) and it flared up the hsv so badly that my body wasn’t responding to the antivirals. I was in so much pain that I had to go to the hospital so they could have me on pain management for the next three days. I’m finally out the hospital but I want to heal faster and with the least amount of pain. I’m on pain meds and antivirals but what’s the best way to dry out lesions so they can scab over faster? I read baking soda but I’m too scared to put something like that around me lol. I just want this to be over, its depressing me to be in this much pain and feeling like my world has stopped. I have to mentally prepare to use the restroom, I can’t be out the house for long periods of time. I feel gross and my self esteem is so low right now. I haven’t even confronted the guy who gave it to me because I’m so mad I don’t even know what to say. I just need light to all of this so I’m not in my head and consistently sad. My main questions are;

how do I dry them out faster?

How long after lesions burst should they scab over?

Is anyone diabetic have any experience with slower healing?

How should I approach the guy who gave me it?

How did anyone living with this get over the stigma and have a more positive look to it?
