Quite a lot of people are lazy to check their health condition to the doctor when they have herpes and choose to use powder only because it is considered effective enough to overcome this skin problem. Actually, is the powder enough to treat herpes?
Health expert Dr. Arie Kusumawardani who came from Kasih Ibu Hospital mentioned that herpes zoster is able to make the sufferer feel the sensation of pain, heat, burning, pain, and itching. To reduce the pain, we can use powder on the skin affected by herpes. It's just that, if the shingles bubble has broken out, it's good to not sow it with powder. If we do it, then the sprinkling of powder will infiltrate the peeled skin and can trigger secondary infection. If this happens, then the bubble of pus-filled liquid will re-emerge and if it dries it will trigger a scar that looks darker than the surrounding skin.
Instead of using powder, Dr. Arie actually recommends the use of herpes healing drugs that can be obtained after checking the health condition to the doctor. This drug can be topical or oral drugs like acyclovir or penciclovir. This drug should also be taken immediately in the first three days after the first symptoms of herpes appear because after that time, viral replication occurs and can make herpes heal longer.
Health experts say that although initially it will cause dark scars, herpes will not trigger pockmarking. In fact, in less than a year, this herpes zoster tends to fade so that it will make our skin look normal as usual.
