Herpes treatment of folk remedies
Herpes is a viral disease with a rash of vesicles on the skin and mucous membranes.
Primary herpes in 90% of cases occurs without distinct symptoms. Recurrent herpes often occurs with skin lesions. Eruptions are located on a variety of skin areas. As a rule, the eruption is preceded by itching and burning, small swelling and redness of the skin. A typical herpetic rash is a group of small vesicles on a swollen, reddened skin. The transparent liquid inside the vesicles soon becomes turbid, and after that the bubbles are opened. The affected area is covered with crusts, which dry up and fall off, leaving no noticeable traces on the skin. For more information about symptoms of herpes, see here.
What's going on? Herpes virus affects the skin, mucous membranes, eyes, internal organs and the central nervous system. Provoke the occurrence of herpes and its recurrence of infection, colds, meningitis and sepsis. In women, relapses may occur in the premenstrual period.
The most common herpes is on the lips. Eruptions can occur on one or another skin area, and can resume in the same place. The rash is not painful. The whole process lasts no more than a week. Simultaneously with the appearance of the rash, lymph nodes may increase, a feeling of chills and a slight fever may appear.
The genital form of herpes is very common. In men, herpetic rashes usually appear on the inner leaf of the foreskin, on the head and in the trunk of the penis. If there are many rashes, lymph nodes can be involved in the process. The appearance of a rash is accompanied by burning, itching and soreness. Sometimes there is frequent painful urination, can develop cystitis. In women, a herpetic rash appears in the form of multiple painful swollen, wet sores. Simultaneously with the appearance of ulcers, there are sensations of burning and itching in the perineal region.
Herpes is transmitted by contact and household way both with direct contact with the patient, and through infected objects( dishes, towels, toothbrushes, toys).Genital herpes is transmitted sexually. When a pregnant woman is infected, fetal infection is possible.
HSV-1 and HSV-2 are referred to as DNA viruses. They are characterized by the destruction of infected cells, a relatively short reproductive cycle and the ability to remain latent in the ganglia of the nervous system. With HSV infection, a person becomes a lifelong carrier for the virus, during transmission, it can be transmitted to other people. The incubation period for herpes infection is from 1 to 26 days. Previously believed that HSV-1 causes predominantly nasolabile herpes, and HSV-2 - genital. It has now been established that both pathogens cause herpetic lesions of both localizations. Generalized herpes often causes HSV-2.
The most common method of diagnosing herpetic infection is the detection of AT to HSV-1 and HSV-2 in the blood serum.
Recently, the detection of HSV 1 and 2 DNA in the material from vesicles and ulcers of the skin or mucous membranes( including the conjunctiva of the eyes) using PCR( a very sensitive, specific and rapid diagnostic method) is used to diagnose herpetic infection. This method can be used to detect a virus in the cerebrospinal fluid. Negative PCR result does not allow to exclude herpetic infection, because due to the short reproductive cycle of the pathogen( in epithelial cells it is only 20 h), the material for the study can be taken too sooner or later. Positive PCR testifies only to the presence of the virus in the human body, but does not distinguish the carrier from the active infection.
Herpes zoster is a skin disease caused by a virus that is similar to a varicella-zoster virus. Most often, the onset of the disease is preceded by hypothermia. The path of infection is contact, when communicating with a sick herpes or virus carrier.
Infection, as a rule, is localized in the mucous membrane of the pharynx and tonsils, from which it already enters the bloodstream and affects the nervous system and skin. The main symptoms of the disease are fever, general intoxication, itching, blistering rash.
The lesion localization is one-sided, this is the area of the face, thorax and waist. There are pains that sometimes become intolerable, intensified by movement, when touched by the skin. After a few days, small bubbles appear on the skin, initially filled with clear, and then purulent, contents. After 4-5 days, the surface of the blisters is wrinkled, and browns are formed. The disease lasts an average of 7-10 days, sometimes up to 4-5 weeks.
Herpes simple is a viral disease caused by the herpes simplex virus( HSV), with a predominant lesion of the skin, mucous membranes, central nervous system, sometimes even internal organs. The course of the disease depends on the state of human immunity.
Several ways of infection with herpes are, firstly, infection by contact with the source of infection( it can be both objects and people), by airborne droplets, by sexual contact with the carrier of infection and from mother to the fetus. HSV, penetrating the human body, literally attacks all its parts, it is contained in the liquid media of the body - blood, urine, saliva, sperm, nasopharyngeal mucus, amniotic fluid. With a decrease in the body's immune forces( with hypothermia, overfatigue, nervous overexertion, influenza), HSV activation occurs. This viral disease is chronic.
The time from the moment of infection to the first signs of the disease is from 1 to 26 days. This disease can be manifested in different ways. If the virus affects a young organism, then most often the disease affects the area of the oral cavity.
The disease begins with a sharp rise in body temperature to 39-40 ° C.
The patient experiences malaise, weakness, loss of appetite, muscle pain. At the same time on the mucous membranes of the mouth( cheeks, gums, tongue), small bubbles with liquid contents appear. After 2-3 days, the vesicles burst, and in the place of the appeared jaundices, crusts form.
Genital herpes - lesions of the genitals. The clinical picture of this disease is similar to the herpes simplex virus, but differs in the place of localization. This type of herpes affects the area of the genito-urinary organs, the anus.
For treatment, ointments with an antiviral effect, for example oxolinic, are used to more quickly eliminate the herpetic rash. Inside take such antiviral drugs as acyclovir or zovirax. Simultaneously, immunostimulatory drugs are taken. Necessary medicines may be prescribed only by a doctor.
Traditional medicine recommends drinking vitamin teas, applying a cloth moistened with boiling water several times a day to the affected area of the skin, as well as wiping the rash with alcohol and powdering the baby powder with no aromatic and other additives.
