How Treating Herpes Works
Herpes treatment focuses on managing outbreaks, reducing discomfort, and preventing recurrence. Antiviral medications are commonly prescribed to shorten the duration of episodes and minimize severity. Supportive treatments may also ease pain, irritation, and skin sensitivity. Since herpes cannot be fully cured, consistent care helps control flare-ups and improves quality of life. At Derma Redefined clinic, Dr. Sampurna offers tailored herpes treatment plans, combining expert medical care with compassionate guidance, empowering patients to manage symptoms effectively and regain confidence in their daily lives.
Understanding the Herpes
Herpes spreads primarily through close skin-to-skin contact, often during kissing, sexual activity, or sharing personal items. The virus enters through breaks in the skin and can remain dormant, reactivating later under stress, fatigue, or immune suppression. Many people feel anxious or isolated when experiencing herpes, but it’s important to remember you are not alone. Millions live with this condition, and with the right care, outbreaks can be managed. Seeking timely medical guidance can help you maintain both skin health and emotional well-being.
