Thanks for posting your concern on HCM!
Episodes of herpes are generally self-limited and resolve without treatment.
In severe cases Acyclovir is be safe and effective in the treatment of active disease and the prevention of postherpetic neuralgia pain that occurs after the infection is controlled.
Oral acyclovir should be used within 72 hours of eruption of the rash
If rash has already erupted Usually nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, wet dressings with 5% aluminum acetate applied for 30-60 minutes 4-6 times daily and calamine lotion are effective.
