What to do about genital herpes itching

Genital herpes is caused by herpes simplex virus infection. Itching can be treated with topical or oral medication as prescribed by the doctor, and daily care should also be taken during treatment. Itching caused by genital herpes can be cleaned with saline, and then topical antiviral ointment, such as acyclovir cream; when the symptoms are more obvious, it can also be combined with oral medication, such as acyclovir, ganciclovir, etc.; when secondary bacterial infections, it can be combined with topical mupirocin ointment and other medications. During the treatment period, we should do a good job of daily care, keep the affected area clean, avoid sex, do not drink and smoke, and pay attention to a balanced diet. After reasonable treatment and daily care, most patients have a better prognosis. When using medication, be sure to listen to your doctor’s guidance, safe and reasonable use of medication, do not use drugs indiscriminately.
