Hi

If these scars are shallow and if they come from an infectious skin condition, these scars should smoothen and improve in time. Apply vitamin E cream on the area, 3 times a day. This will help smoothen the skin and even out the appearance. However, topical moisturizers are only temporary and superficial in terms of effects. They may smoothen the surface but not totally eradicate scarring. Laser therapy and microdermabrasion may be able to help

How do you know it is from herpes?  you can have pimples on you butt from hormones.  My husband had them for 30 years and he was frustrated too.  He never had herpes.  Talk to your dermatologist.   Try a domboro soak in a tub it soothes them.  Ask your closest drugstore it is over the counter it is good for sunburns, swollen eyes, rashes, it is greattttttt as tony the tiger says.
