Can a herpe go away in a day or so? had a spot on penis open wound out triple antibiotic on it and its pretty much gone. it never hurt?

If a herpes lesion doesn't go beyond a red bump, it could clear in 2-3 days, but probably not in just a day. Once it has developed to the blister or open sore stage, it can't heal sooner than 10 days, maybe sometimes as soon as a week but not faster.
