no you do not have to do any special cleaning because you have herpes.  

even without insurance, you can get acyclovir for under $20/month for suppressive therapy with a prescription.  If you don't have insurance you can also go online and find the bridges to access program and ask your provider to fill out the information and see if your qualify for free valtrex through gsk.    You can also treat each ob as they occur for $4 at walmart with a prescription for acyclovir.

no reason to use polysporin on lesions as they are not bacterial.

corn starch is fine to help reduce friction.
