Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns.
Yes, this sounds like herpes but if you are unsure, you should do blood test for herpes and then systemic therapy can be started. At this point, you should apply acyclovir cream 2 times daily on affected areas. Avoid contact with other people. Herpes is transmissed with direct skin to skin contact and may be dormant for years in your body before it outbreaks.
I hope I have answered your query.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
