Hi Sir. If your renal profile is normal you can take tab Acyclovir 800mg 5 times per day for 7 days with lot of fluids intake. Apply fudic cream for the affected area. If no pain or burning sensation this would be sufficient. And also let us know any eye symptoms. Ophthalmologist opinion is also needed
