Hello,
Herpes simplex infection is characterized by multiple painful fluid filled blisters. Herpes simplex is a viral infection and is treated with anti-viral drugs. Low immunity is one of the causes of recurrent herpes infection, thus, improving the immune system can help to resolve the symptoms.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
