hi.. thanks for using HCM..
you have herpes simplex with neuralgic pain..
you have also tried with antivirals.. but it will not halt the progress of the disease since you have already have skin lesions..
it will take its own course.. but with treatment duration and extent of the skin lesion is reduced..
all the very best..
I find this answer helpful
