Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your case history of herpes. My treatment advice is :

1. Don't squeeze the lesions as it may worsen the condition.
2. The symptoms of herpes are fever and small vesicles on genital.
3. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it.
4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral acyclovir taken only after consulting a dermatologist.

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

Regards,
Dr. Harshit Bhachech
