Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be herpes infection. Upload an image for review.
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about these spots that you have reported. I have review the response which was provided by the other experts. It is unlikely for them to be herpes as herpes would not respond to this cream. Also, herpes spots take longer to dal and they pain so much. I will encourage you to continue with the drug and only seek further assessment after the complete treatment duration. In this time, your results would also be available and more guiding to make any adjustments if need be.
Also, to make sure there is nothing we are missing out on, I will like that you provide an image for independent review. This way, more insights and a personalized response would be offered to you.
Also, spots rarely heal without a change in color. It would take sometime for these spots to return to the same color as the surrounding skin.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thanks for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Doctor sorry for the late reply it was night time for me. I have attached the photos while taking photos I can see lot of red spots are gone but I feel there is little inflammation of the cream. Please review and let me know if the spots are healing and should I be worried about the herpes??
Brief Answer:
Herpes is not a possibility. Please, relax about this!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for uploading the images.
Please, there is nothing to even raise the suspicion of herpes. Herpes cause deep and very painful wounds. You don’t have this. Be relaxed about this.
I wish you well. Continue treatment as initially planned and there is no need in panicking at this time.

Thanks a lot doctor ! I am waiting for my test results ! I will update you as soon as I get the results ! I am worried about the results though.
Brief Answer:
It is okay to be anxious!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this flow up.
Being anxious is human. No one would pretend not to be worried when he/she is expecting the results of a test. That’s fine and you would soon ignore this when your results provide objective evidence that you can lean on to convince yourself.
I wish you well and keep me updated when the reports come in. Until then, stay well.
