Viral herpes is a skin disease caused by viral herpes virus infection and is somewhat contagious. Generally the most common ones are herpes simplex and herpes zoster, and these two types of herpes need to be classified and treated according to the specific situation: 1. Herpes simplex: Herpes simplex treatment is based on the main principles of antiviral, dryness, astringency and prevention of bacterial infection. In severe cases doctors will give antiviral drugs such as acyclovir, but systemic application should be monitored for liver and kidney function and other indicators to prevent side effects. Due to the complex immune mechanism involved in the development of viral herpes, appropriate anti-inflammatory treatment with hormones is required. Topical ointments such as acyclovir ointment or penciclovir ointment can also be applied as prescribed. When herpes is combined with bacterial infection, topical anti-infective drugs such as betamethasone neomycin cream and mupirocin ointment can be added; 2. Herpes zoster: the main principles of clinical treatment are to reduce pain, prevent secondary infection, antiviral, shorten the course of the disease and reduce complications. Gabapentin capsules and acetaminophen tablets can be given to relieve pain, oral or intramuscular vitamin B12 to nourish the nerves, and systemic application of antiviral drugs such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, and bromovudine, etc., so as to control the viral infection and relieve symptoms. If the inflammation is uncontrollable, glucocorticoids can be used as prescribed by the doctor, but note that they should not be used for a long time and should be chosen carefully. For immunodeficient or immunosuppressed patients, adenosine or interferon can be applied to improve immunity. In addition, physical therapy such as ultraviolet light irradiation, audio electrotherapy, laser irradiation, and TDP spectrum irradiation can be chosen to help relieve symptoms and accelerate the treatment of the disease.
