Sounds to me like Herpes, but not the genital kind. My middle one had it in high school. Wrestlers tend to get it. The medication your son got is exactly what was prescribed to mine. He was seeing a dermatologist at a teaching hospital who put him on it as a preventative. Because if he got it, he’d have to sit out the sport until it went away, and he was a state ranked wrestler. He’s only had an outbreak or two since he graduated from high school and both mild. But when he had it back then, it was quite severe. Missed school for a week.
