Reply To: How likely is recurrence after treatment, honestly?

Knowing the timing in advance genuinely helps. I spent the first two months treating each new one as proof the treatment had failed, when it was just the expected pattern.

Treatment clears what is visible. The virus is still in the surrounding skin for a while afterwards, and that is what produces the next one.
