When you have herpes, consider the factors related to herpes simplex and herpes zoster. Since these diseases are caused by viral infections, you should cooperate with your doctor to choose anti-viral creams for treatment, and in order to prevent infections, you should also choose anti-infective creams.
1. Anti-viral ointment: Herpes simplex is usually caused by infection by herpes simplex virus type 1 and herpes simplex virus type 2. Herpes zoster, on the other hand, is mainly caused by herpes zoster virus infection. Because both diseases are viral infections, you don’t need to distinguish between them by disease. You can cooperate with your doctor to apply topical antiviral ointments, such as acyclovir ointment and penciclovir cream, to treat them.
2. Anti-infection ointment: Because local herpes, easy to rupture, may lead to bacterial infection, combined infection, the patient should cooperate with the doctor to apply erythromycin ointment, mupirocin ointment and other drugs to inhibit the bacteria, relieve the condition.
All of the above medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor, avoid self-medication.
