I wouldn't recommend touching affected areas directly, even marks left after scabs heal. It increases chances of accidental spreading.

Herpes doesn't leave permanent marks or scars, so you can trust that those marks will not be there long.

Mine fully healed in 2 or 3, if I remember correctly. It just wasn't that big of a deal at the time, I had other issues I struggled with a lot more.
