I've been using Patanjali toothpaste on my face to try and get rid of some pimples, but now my skin's super dry, really irritated, and parts feel like they're burning. What should I do to fix this, and is it safe to use toothpaste like that on the skin anyway?

I'm really worried because I got a positive result for HSV IgG with a range of 2.7. I've had the virus for three months, and it's mainly affecting my testicles, anus, and penis. I'm not experiencing pain, swelling, itching, or ulcers on my penis. I'm just scared and unsure if this is something that can be treated forever. Can you advise on what steps I should take?
