<Thanks for posting your query.
I can understand your concern.
This seems to be genital herpes. It's caused by the human HSV(Herpes Simplex virus). It needs to be treated with anti-viral medication such as Acyclovir or Valacyclovir.You will need a prescription for this from your doctor. Treatment of the first outbreak is very important to reduce the degree and frequency of recurrences. So please consult your doctor and start the treatment at the earliest.
Application of topical antibiotic like mupirocin cream, twice daily will also aid in healing. This requires a prescription too.
Please let me know if you have any queries.
Take care.>>
