Lotion for Herpes
Hi,
I was treated with Herpes Zoster (Right Abdomen). I had taken Acivir 400mg for 5 days, I was also applying Herpex 5% cream. Now the rashes have dried up but it causes lot of burning and numbness all day at the right abdomen.
Is there any lotion I can apply for some relief and to ensure marks are not left after this virus is gone ?
