Herpes is caused by herpes virus infection. It usually shows clusters of blisters on one side of the body. The blisters do not exceed the midline of the body surface and are accompanied by intermittent tingling. Herpes occur in association with virus activation, mainly due to reduced body resistance. First of all, pay attention to rest, relieve stress, regular life, do not drink alcohol, tea, coffee and irritating food, can take oral anti-viral drugs, such as acyclovir, famciclovir, valciclovir, etc., topical anti-viral drug acyclovir ointment. If the blister is not broken, you can take a bath, but do not break the blister yourself. The blister can form a scab after the condition improves.
