Dermatologist 's  Response
Hello,

It is herpes simplex labialis. It is a relapsing viral skin disease. Total cure is difficult. A load of the HSV virus should be reduced by long-term regular treatment. Take acyclovir thrice a day for few years. Take immunomodulator like levamisole daily. Apply acyclovir cream.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,      
Dr. Ilyas Patel
