herpes would heal on its own whether you treated it or not. you really can't rule out herpes based on the symptoms healing in a few days. follow up with testing at the proper time so you know your status in general.

Thanks but by herpes being a viral infection and doxycycline is for bacterial infection. Would it still clear an herpe outbreak n 3 days.  It improved the 1St day taking the med

if you are concerned about herpes, you can seek out a type specific herpes igg blood test 3 months after you had last had sex prior to these symptoms to see what your status is.
