HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, such lesion or red area need to be ruled for viral infection and it can be herpes till then it can be managed with Diphenhydramine lotion, if the lesion not responds then it has to be seen with dermatologist, and ideally all the skin lesions demands the clinical examination hope this information helps.
