Is This Herpes?

Question: is this Herpes?
Brief Answer:
This is herpes, start oral antivirals
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcaremagic
I have reviewed the attached photographs and it seems to be herpes genitalis.
I would recommend you to take antivirals like tablet aciclovir 400 mg thrice daily for 5 days and apply topical antibiotic like neosporin ointment on the affected areas twice daily for 7 days.
Oral antivirals are prescription drugs and you need to see the doctor in person to get them.
