Recently diagnosed with herpes?

I was recently diagnosed with herpes and I thought it was going away, about a week ago the blister became an ulcer and about 3 days ago it stopped hurting to urinate and the ulcer was less sore. I've had a look at it today to see if it is nearly gone and the lesion is smaller, however it has gone white again. Is it likely that it is now scabbing as it is in a moist area and could be appearing white? Or is the herpes coming back again? I took 7 days of acyclovir from last monday(27th - 4th)

Recurrent boils/pimples on nose

I have a peculiar problem that Doctors keep diagnosing as acne but IMHO it's clearly not. I have had some acne on my cheek as a teenager and not in my adulthood. I once drank beer from someone else glass mistakenly and passed out at a bar. In a few days, I got a cold sore on my lip. And then a couple of weeks later another one. I was continously put on Acyclovir for a few weeks. Since I was facing irritation on my scalp, I was taken off Acyclovir.  Then a few weeks later I started getting boils on the bridge of my nose. It was absolutely relentless - they kept moving at the rate of atleast one every alternate day. I was getting some inside my nose as well. I was put on doxycline 100 mg for 3 months. It appeared like it was working. Once I was taken off the medication, the boils started coming back - again all on the bridge of my nose. I was put on Accutane/Isotretinoin for 6 months. 3 months after I was taken off, they boils began to return. Can someone please advice what can be done?
