Hello,
Thanks for your query on HCM
"As"per clinical history is concerned please follow like this -
1)Do a physical examination to rule out bacterial infection due to friction then antibiotic course will be required.
2)If blisters are due to viral infection then a coarse of antiviral[Acyclovir] will be required.
To prevent outbreaks of viral infections in future you need a diet rich in lysine regularly.
Hope that helps
