Genital herpes scabbing over usually means that the disease is healed and there is no need for further antiviral medication, but other medications may be required. Infection with the genital herpes virus usually scabs over after routine antiviral treatment. Generally herpes scabs usually indicate that the disease is under control and the amount of virus in the body has decreased. Waiting for the scabs to dry and fall off naturally is sufficient, and antiviral medications may no longer be used. However, there may be pain. If there is still pain, painkillers and nerve-nourishing drugs, such as vitamin B1, B12, and ibuprofen extended-release capsules, can be used as appropriate. If there is still an itchy feeling, you can routinely use some anti-itching drugs such as capsaicin cream external application. It should be noted that the use of the above drugs should be under the guidance of a physician.
