Let sores heal: A healthy teen can do his best to let herpes sores heal on their own. Without seeing a doctor, how does he know the sores are herpes? What if they are some other disease? A teen does not have enough years of medical training to confirm what the sores are. If Herpes 1 or 2, he can take medication to prevent sores... instead of just suffering. In cities in the US, there are "free" clinics for teens.
