Herpes symplex 1 stange outbreak

Hi all,
i'm new here. i red some of the post and couldn't find similar case to my own.

i had my first herpes outbreak 3 and a half month ago. it was 4 little sores on my leap. i used zovirax for about a week and it went away.

2 weeks ago i had an outbreak under my nose on the right side of my face. i treated it and it went away.

1 day later i had another 1 in a different area (on the joint of the leaps). i started taking Aciclovir zovirex 400 mg 3 times a day as my doctor prescribed.

the thing is that i keep having new outbreaks on different locations around the mouth.

the odd thing is that it doesn't each or painful, it's always small and can hardly be seen, it's under my beard and i only know i have it is because it's suddenly pops and i see the fluid. sometimes, from the moment i see redness or a slight each until the the blister form and pops is less than a day - sometimes 12-15 hours.    

i'm almost at the end of my prescription (day 4 out of 5) i'm still having new blisters  forms on different sits around my mouth.

i'm trying to understated if it's make since that under antiviral oral treatment a new blisters forms?

and another thing is that i red here that once it's appears once it is very unlikely that you reinfect yourself in another part of your face/body, but every were i read about herpes it says that you shouldn't touch another part because you can infect that area. and advise to wash your hands after contact with an infected area.

could someone collaborate on the specific situations you can pass the herpes to a different part of your face or body ?

could someone explain how is it that on my first outbreak i had it on the leap, the second beneath the right side of my nose and now it's poping out in all sort of different location around the mouth and while i'm on antivirals?

i will add that i'm extremely careful, i do not touch it with my fingers, except when i'm in the shower and washing the area with soap. other wise i do not touch it at all.

thanks.
