I am not sure if the lesions you get on your fingers are herpetic in nature - these must be something different, because the herpes simplex viruses types 1 and 2 affect the oral cavity/lips/nose and genital organs, not the hands. As such, you may actually transfer the virus to other people. A good practice would be not to touch the lesions on your mouth then directly touch your genitals to avoid self-inoculation of the virus.

Annual Checkup
It is recommended that all individuals see a Family Doctor for a full medical examination annually. Adults should get their blood pressure checked (US Preventive Task Force), a flu vaccine (CDC) and more each year.
The American Dental Association recommends dental cleanings for adults at least twice annually. Some stains can only be removed by a professional cleaning.
It’s recommended by the American Academy of Ophthalmology that every adult between the ages of 18 and 80 does an eye examination at least once every two years.
It's recommended by the American Cancer Association that every adult between the age of 20 and 80 does an annual skin screening by a licensed dermatologist.
