Question
A 14-month-old baby has several needle-sized bubbles around the vaginal opening and often scratches the area. What medication should be used? Is it serious? Previous treatment and outcomes: No treatment has been received. Desired assistance: Please tell me what the condition is and what medication can be used for treatment.
Answer
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease, commonly caused by infection with the Herpes Simplex Virus Type 2. It is clinically categorized into primary and secondary simplex herpes. Treatment includes: 1. Oral acyclovir, which can shorten the course of primary damage but cannot prevent recurrence. 2. Topical herpes cream and acyclovir solution. I recommend taking herbal medicine for treatment, such as Yin Qiao San with modifications: nourishing yin, cooling blood, clearing heat, and detoxifying.
