Genital herpes is a common type of sexually transmitted disease that is best characterized by causing damage to the genital skin and mucous membranes, and can be quite painful for the patient. In response to the clinical manifestations, systemic antiviral treatment, or local antiviral treatment, as well as treatment for localized skin changes, is recommended. When topical therapy is used, it involves ointments. Patients can use acyclovir cream, which is applied to the surface of genital herpes to reduce viral replication in the focal area. Secondly to prevent pain, creams like lidocaine cream can also be applied to reduce pain. In case of a large break in the skin, a wound healing cream can also be used. These three types of creams are the methods that can be used when genital herpes is present.
