Itchy skin with herpes can usually be relieved by medication, followed by cause-specific treatment depending on the cause of the herpes. For itchy skin caused by herpes, patients can be treated with oral antihistamines such as cetirizine hydrochloride, loratadine, etc. When the herpes is not ruptured, topical glycolic lotion can be applied to relieve itching; if the herpes is slightly ruptured due to light scratching or squeezing, antibiotic ointment can be applied to the affected area to prevent infection. After the itching symptoms are controlled, the cause of the disease should be treated. Generally, genital herpes and chickenpox will have itchy symptoms, while other types of herpes are rare. Patients need to choose the appropriate anti-herpes virus medication according to the specific cause, and need to follow medical advice when using the medication. During the onset of herpes, patients can eat more high-energy, easily digestible food, and can eat more vegetables and fruits. The diet should contain fresh fruits and vegetables, such as rape, spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, etc., brown rice and cereals, etc. Spicy, oily and irritating foods are not recommended.
