Herpes should not be punctured. It is not recommended to puncture herpes as it may develop secondary infections or lead to herpes infections in other people or in other parts of the body. Herpes refers to a group of diseases caused by human herpes virus (HHV) infections that result in changes in the skin and mucous membranes, and common types include chickenpox, herpes simplex, and herpes zoster. After herpes develops from the virus, it can be treated by taking antiviral medication or applying antiviral cream to the herpes area. During treatment, be careful not to pick at the herpes to prevent the fluid inside the herpes from escaping. This is because the fluid within the herpes contains the herpes virus, which may cause herpes to appear on the skin that comes in contact with it as well, and may even infect others. Secondly, the ruptured area is also susceptible to bacterial infection, which can cause the skin to break out and erupt, thus making it susceptible to scarring. When herpes is accidentally ruptured, it should be immediately sterilized with iodophor, and then the exudate inside the herpes should be sucked up using cotton swabs to prevent infection from occurring, and if necessary, medical attention should be sought as soon as possible under the guidance of a doctor.
