Highly not advised!: If what you have is not herpes, then you are ok.However, if you think it's herpes, watch out!the topical you are using has an antifungal agent and a steroid that suppresses the immune system. You have a viral infection. As a result, your lesions, despite it feeling better in the short run, will soon get worse. See you doctor in order to get a prescription for an antiviral agent like valacyclovir.
