What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With Healing by Day 8	The percentage of participants achieving lesion healing by Day 8 of study treatment	8 days

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Time to Healing	The criteria for determining healing are as follows: A condition where all erythematous and papular lesions, vesicular and pustular lesions, and erosive and ulcerative lesions have been resolved, and either the complete resolution of crusts or the complete epithelialization beneath any remaining crusts has been achieved.; In participants where no crust has formed, a condition characterized by the epithelialization of erosions/ulcers formation in mucosal lesions and potentially other affected areas.; In participants where no vesicles or pustules have formed, a condition characterized by the complete resolution of all erythematous and papular lesions.	29 days
Time to Complete Crusting	The criteria for complete crust formation are outlined as follows: A condition where all erythematous and papular lesions, vesicular and pustular lesions, and erosive and ulcerative lesions have been resolved, and all rashes are crusted (epithelialization beneath is not required).; In participants where no crust has formed, a condition characterized by the epithelialization of erosions/ulcers formation in mucosal lesions and potentially other affected areas.; In participants where no vesicles or pustules have formed, a condition characterized by the complete resolution of all erythematous and papular lesions.	29 days
Time to Virus Disappearance	The day of viral disappearance is the first day on which the results of viral isolation continuously show 'HSV negative' until the final implementation day. The negative means that the results of the isolation and culture are negative, or the isolation and culture has not been performed due to complete crusting or healing of the lesion site.	29 days
