Brief Answer:
Herpes infection, topical antibiotic, oral antiviral

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

According to your complaints it would be herpes infection.
I would recommend you for apply topical antibiotic like neosporin ointment on the affected area twice daily.
If the lesions are severe or causing any discomfort you need to take a course of antiviral medication like tablet aciclovir 400 mg thrice daily for 5 days.
Oral antivirals are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
