Hello, i am assuming that the current episode is a recurrent episode (not the first episode), for which i would adv tab Valacyclovir 500 mg twice daily for 3 days , along with application of mupirocin cream locally twice daily for the same duration.
Genital herpes is a recurrent condition , if the patient experiences 6 or more episodes in a year, we start them on a course of suppressive therapy which decreases the frequency of recurrences and also viral shedding.
I adv u to consult a dermatologist for discussion about the same after the lesions resolve
Thank you
Take care
