Hello,

To treat herpes on buttocks avoid exposure to sunlight. Stressful lifestyle and fatigue triggers herpes outbreak, stay away from it. In case of any illness, get it treated urgently. Avoid sex for a couple of days, get clinically examined and treated. Take antiviral treatment to reduce the symptoms until the outbreak ends. Get treated with a course of oral antivirals and antibiotics depending upon the seriousness of the condition.

Apply Zovirax Ointment on the area affected for relieve. Acyclovir topical (for the skin) is an antiviral medicine that is used to treat skin symptoms caused by the herpes virus. Take care of your hygiene. Avoid using public washrooms and toilets. Get your partner tested and treated if positive.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
