Hi,
Welcome to HCM.
Genital Herpes has no relation to your facial rashes. You are on correct treatment for genital Herpes with Valtrex.
Regarding butter fly shape patch over the face might be due to different causes including Systemic Lupus Erythematosis.. Without examining the individual, one should not prescribe anything as it could cause reactions over facial skin and lead to unwanted changes in your facial skin instead of doing good. So it is better to consult a Dermatologist and get treated. There are good medicines are available to treat such rashes.
