Timely treatment – no later than 72 hours after the onset of the first symptoms of herpes zoster – will help to quickly and effectively cope with this disease. Such a statement on his page on the social network TikTok did Lev Kulkov, Russian dermatologist, venereologist, trichologist.
The doctor said that herpes zoster is caused by the herpes virus type 3.
Herpes zoster is a viral disease that affects the skin and nerve tissue. It is caused by herpes virus type 3. The disease manifests itself with redness and vesicles on the skin in the area of nerve damage, said Lev Kulkov.
The dermatologist warned that herpes zoster is transmitted by airborne droplets.
– In severe cases, it can affect the nervous system. In diagnostics, it is recommended to use a PCR test for herpes of the third type. In the treatment of mild form, it is necessary to use antiviral drugs, for example: acyclovir at a dosage of 800 mg five times a day for 10 days, as well as external agents in the form of antiseptics. The treatment is most effective if it is started within the first 72 hours, – Lev Kulkov drew attention.
By the way, earlier Andrei Prodeus, a Russian immunologist, doctor of medical sciences, professor, told how herpes and Alzheimer’s disease are connected. The doctor explained that the appearance of a “cold on the lips” indicates the activation of the virus, which brings this problem closer. Read more about this in our material at the link.
