Hello dear, Thank you for your contact to health care magic. I read and understand your concern. I am Dr Arun Tank answering your concern. Usually herpes will go with the treatment. So as if you are treated with the herpes it leaves slight pigmentation. Gradually this pigmentation will go, and skin looks like normal. I advice you should start taking the acyclovir tablet under your doctors guidance. This is the drug od choice to treat the herpes. Vitamin B complex should be taken, along with the gabapentin this all will cure the problem. Please take under doctors guidance. Avoid sex or kiss during the period of treatment. Otherwise cross infection will occur. Frequent herpes infection is the sign of the immunocomprmise status. So iny advice you should test for the HIV. In HIV infection patient frequently has bouts of the infection. I will be happy to answer your further concern on bit.ly/DrArun. Thank you, Dr Arun Tank Infectious diseases specialist, HCM.
