We can provide you with accurate information on the herpes simplex virus. This viral skin condition can cause cold sores on the face, whitlows on the fingers, or herpes on the genitals, or on any other skin area where it has gained entry.

We provide advice and counselling on coping with the virus to those affected physically or mentally. Help can be given over the telephone, by email/letter or one-to-one in our London office. You can also join our free Zoom sessions: dates and contact details on the website.
