Hi
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
Welcome to health care magic. I have gone through the photos.
It appears to be tiny grouped vesicles ( water filled lesions). It appears to be due to herpes simplex virus (HSV).It may be due to HSV 1 or 2.
It may be due to recurrent herpes lesions.It is known for recurrence.
If there is previous history of herpes or exposure to person with herpes it is likely due to herpes.
You can get smear test from lesion now.or test for antibodies to HSV later. Consult your doctor for examination and management.You may need antiviral drugs like acyclovir.
You can get back for any clarification.
Thank you
