Pus Filled Blisters After Shaving. Swab Test Taken And Positive For Herpes. Used Miconizole And The Problem Resolved. If It Is Herpes How Did The Blisters Respond To Cream?

Hello, I recently broke out with what appeared to be pus filled blisters from shaving. I was seen by my doctor and she stated they looked like herpes and also did a swab...in the meantime while waiting for results I used miconizole and they resolved in less than 24 hours...the next day after clearance I was called and told they tested positive for herpes. My question is why did the blisters respond to miconizole? I am a heavy shaver, who only uses soap and water. There were no other symptoms
