Can I use topical medication to treat genital herpes during pregnancy?

Topical medications can be used to treat patients when they have local symptoms.
In the case of blisters and ulcers on the genital area, topical medication such as acyclovir ointment can be applied after local cleaning and disinfection to relieve itching and pain, and also to promote recovery.
It is also important to wear loose cotton underwear to reduce friction on the lesion to avoid aggravation of the condition.
