Suggest Home Remedies For Recurring Herpes Infection

I am currently taking Harvoni along with my other numerous prescriptions medications and my immune system is real low. I have a recurring herpes sore that has returned on my buttocks and I would like to know what is my best way to treat this at home. I am about out of money from going to doctors as it is. Any suggestions?
