Herpes scabs need to continue to be rubbed in so that they do not lead to a recurrence or worsening of the condition. Herpes scabs can indicate that the condition is improving, but it is not completely cured, you can continue to apply ointment according to the specifics of the scabs. Herpes is caused by a human herpes virus infection. Treatment is mainly antiviral, and antiviral medications such as acyclovir ointment can be applied to herpes under a doctor’s supervision. If the condition is more serious, oral or intravenous antiviral drugs, such as oseltamivir, can be taken under the supervision of a doctor. If there is no breakout from the appearance of herpes to the scab, you can apply acyclovir ointment etc. after the scab is formed under the guidance of your doctor; if herpes breaks out and then forms a scab, you can apply mupirocin ointment, erythromycin ointment etc. under the guidance of your doctor until the scab falls off. Please consult your physician for specific medications and do not use them without authorization.
