What to do if a bug crawls through your skin and gets herpes

Crawling skin herpes may be caused by insect bite dermatitis, which can be improved by local care, topical medication, oral medication, and enhanced protection. 1. Local care: the first thing to do is to pay attention to strengthen the local care for the wound, to help remove the venom left by insects and relieve local swelling, such as the patient can use water to clean the parts of the insect crawling; for the swelling of the patient can be used to apply ice packs on the bite. 2. Topical medication: For patients with mild symptoms of herpes on skin crawled by insects, mint glycerine lotion, glucocorticosteroid cream (such as dieldrin cream, mometasone furoate cream) and other creams can be applied locally to help astringent, anti-inflammatory, antipruritic and thus effectively alleviate the related symptoms. 3. Oral medication: For patients with more serious symptoms of herpes on skin crawling by insects, oral antihistamines (such as diphenhydramine, loratadine), glucocorticosteroids (such as cortisone, hydrocortisone), and other medications need to be taken on the basis of topical medications to help relieve itching, anti-inflammation, and antiallergenicity. 4. Strengthen protection: In addition to the above treatments, patients also need to pay attention to strengthening personal protection, which can help to achieve better therapeutic effects, such as the use of insecticides to disinfect the environment, when going to the field, pay attention to wear long clothes and long pants, tighten the cuffs and pants, and reduce the contact with poultry and pets, and so on. It should be noted that the above treatments need to be carried out under the guidance of a physician to avoid the occurrence of adverse reactions. Therefore, patients are advised to consult the dermatology department of regular hospitals in a timely manner.
