Yes: Your physician can evaluate you to include testing to determine if your lesions are from herpes simplex.

See a dermatologist: First find out what you have. Then a dermatologist can prescribe pills which are effective and very safe. We use valacyclovir or acyclovir. Sometimes a pill every day, sometimes a dose at the exact start of the next attack. If it is not herpes they will have no effect.
