Sarpa suttu is herpes infection even after the chickenpox infection is over, the virus may live in your nervous system for years before reactivating as shingles. Shingles may also be referred to as herpes zoster. This type of viral infection is characterized by a red skin rash that can cause pain and burning. Several home remedies can help, including: taking painkillers, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen bathing in lightly salted water helps relieve symptoms soaking in a warm sitz bath applying petroleum jelly to the affected area avoiding tight clothing around the affected area washing hands thoroughly, especially after touching the affected area refraining from sexual activity until symptoms have gone if urinating is painful, apply some cream or lotion to the urethra, for example, lidocaine some people find that using ice packs can help. Never apply ice directly to the skin, always wrap it in a cloth or towel first. Medication no drug can get rid of the herpes virus. Doctors may prescribe an antiviral, such as acyclovir, which prevents the virus from multiplying. Antiviral medications will help the outbreak clear up faster and will also help reduce the severity of symptoms. Doctors usually prescribe antivirals the first time a person has symptoms. As recurrent outbreaks are usually mild, treatment is not usually necessary.
