Question
My child has blisters on their lips, and I’ve been using Acyclovir cream, but I’ve stopped the medication almost two days ago. When can I change their diaper?
Answer
Hello, if you have fully recovered and the skin and mucous membranes have healed, you can change the diaper. If not yet recovered, it is recommended to avoid changing the diaper, as the herpes simplex virus may be transmitted through sexual contact or by sharing utensils, towels, razors, and other items. For daily care, please note not to let your child touch the inflamed blisters, and keep the items you’ve used, such as towels, separate from your child.
