Brief Answer:
It is not Herpes infection

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

Dear Ms

It is definitely not Herpes infection. It appears to be Intertigonitis which is inflammation of skin folds usually fungal in origin.

I would suggest you the following
1. Keep the area clean and dry
2. Local application of combination of antifungal like Clotrimazole along with steroid like Betamethasone will be helpful.
3. If you are sexually active then indulge in safe sex practice

Do get back to me if you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.


Take care

Best regards
