They don't just go away because herpes is a life long disease that is incurable. With antibiotics you can relieve the pain of them but that's pretty much it.
a couple of years
It may go away of it's own. But then you are advised to get the medical treatment.

It never goes away until you deal with it. Trust me

The Herpes Virus
herpes lasts forever
till global warming goes away
Herpes will not affect lifespan. Almost everyone has the oral form of herpes simplex virus. Both the oral and genital forms integrate into our genomes after we are infected and will cause periodic outbreaks. As time goes on these will most likely become less and less frequent. Therefore people who have had genital herpes for decades will have fewer outbreaks in a year, or possibly none at all. This does not indicate that they have been "cured" or no longer have the virus as they are still able to spread the infection while asymptomatic.
Well it takes about three or three and a half days for it to go naturally. But if you want to get rid of it early then there are other ways to do that. If you want to keep it, then I guess you should just wait for it to disappear. It is a bruise and takes as long as a bruise to go away.
