Herpes can be either herpes simplex, or herpes zoster, caused by herpes simplex virus or varicella-zoster virus infections, respectively, and may result in clustered blisters on the skin. Both are treated with antiviral agents, physical therapy if necessary, and antibiotics in combination with infections.
1. Antiviral drugs: oral antiviral drugs, such as aciclovir, vasiclovir, etc., can inhibit viral replication, eliminating the causative factors of the disease; patients with herpes zoster generally need to be combined with nutritive therapy, such as oral vitamin B1, methylcobalamin, etc., and when the pain is obvious, can be used in combination with painkillers, such as pregabalin capsule.
2. Physical therapy: patients with heavy lesions or obvious pain can go to the dermatology department of the hospital if necessary. Physical therapy, such as infrared rays, can promote the blisters to crust, and also relieve the role of pain.
3. Antibiotic drugs: If the lesions involve a large area and are deep, or if the care is not adequate and a serious bacterial infection is secondary, antibiotic drugs such as cefamandole sodium and cefazolin sodium can be given if necessary.
Whether it is herpes simplex or herpes zoster, it is recommended to visit the dermatology department of the hospital in time and standardize the treatment under the guidance of the doctor.
