metro gel & herpes

A few months ago a doctor told me i had bv and prescribed metrogel for 3 nights. well i also have genital herpes and often have the pre-bumps around the outside of my privates that constantly sting, feel warm, and ache. after the odor which i explained in the 1st sentence i took the metrogel for the 2nd night and the pre bumps under the skin that had all of the symtoms on and off stopped immediately!!!! it was awesome! now, i recently got over another outbreak, but it seems that if i have an outbreak, even after the soars heal up and go away, the pre-bumps [as I call them] linger and i have to deal with the constant uncomforts listed above. i'm tempted to use the metrogel again, even though i don't have bv, but i sure do recall feeling awesome when i did. i'm not even close to being in the medical field, but what if metrogel can eliminate herpes? has it been investigated? i think this is how cures come about, by accident or experimental. i just want this feeling to go away. please advise.

thanks.
