Clinical treatment modalities for bilateral herpes zoster include general treatment and medication.
Herpes zoster is an acute herpetic skin disease caused mainly by varicella-zoster virus infection. The typical rash often involves one skin area, and a few may involve both sides.
1. General treatment: patients should look for and avoid triggering factors to avoid recurrence of the disease; patients should keep the affected area dry to avoid aggravating the infection.
2. Drug treatment: patients can take antiviral drugs such as acyclovir and famciclovir as prescribed by the doctor; use topical fusidic acid cream and mupirocin ointment as prescribed by the doctor to fight infection.
If you are suffering from bilateral herpes zoster, you should go to the hospital in time to see a doctor and have a relevant examination in the hospital to clarify the cause of the disease and actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment.
