Hi
Thanks for being at healthcaremagic
I am Dr Asmeet XXXXXXX Sawhney, a dermatologist.
I have reviewed the attached photograph and it is looking like herpes infection.
If it is not causing you too much discomfort just apply topical antibiotic like neosporin ointment or mupirocin cream on the affected area twice daily for 5-7 days.
This will resolve it.
