What to do if a monkey grows on your genitals

If you find monkey-like symptoms on your genitals, you should be alert. It is likely caused by genital herpes. This symptom is very similar to type 2 genital herpes. The patient will experience itching, papules, blisters, and later pustules, leading to ulcers. The patient will experience pain, etc. At this time, you must seek treatment in time. There are many treatment methods, the most common of which are local medication, oral medication, etc.

Treatment measures for genital herpes: This disease is self-limiting and can heal itself in about 1-2 weeks. The goal of treatment is to prevent the next recurrence. There is currently no specific medicine for this disease. The treatment principles are to shorten the course of the disease, prevent secondary infection, and reduce recurrence.

1. Local therapy: The principle is to dry, astringe and protect the affected area to prevent secondary infection. You can apply 2% gentian violet solution externally, or use 10% bismuth subgallate (dermatol), zinc oxide ointment or paste, lithospermum parkii ointment, 0.5% neomycin ointment, or 0.25%~0.1% IDU ointment, 5% IDU dimethyl sulfoxide solution (for skin herpes), etc. For facial areas, 10% aluminum acetate or zinc-copper mixture can also be used.

2. Systemic treatment: The first principle of treatment is to prevent the activation of infected HSV or even eliminate the virus; the second is to regulate immunity and prevent recurrence. Acyclovir can be taken intravenously or orally, Livzonvir can be taken orally, interferon can be injected intramuscularly, and interleukin II can be injected intramuscularly. When treating recurrent cases, we use 3 million units of interferon produced by the Biotechnology Center of the Fourth Medical University for intramuscular injection once a day, 10 times as a course of treatment, for a total of three courses, and appropriately combined with the use of interleukin II, Levitra, or Bactrobactin. 95% of patients do not have a relapse.

Genital herpes treatment precautions

Genital herpes is an inflammatory, recurrent sexually transmitted disease caused by the herpes simplex virus invading the skin and mucous membranes of the genital area, which brings great pain to the patient's body and mind. Therefore, timely and active treatment is very important. During or after treatment, patients should pay attention to the following:

1. Pay attention to sexual life

Patients should be careful to avoid unclean sex or improper sexual activities. Patients with active genital herpes should absolutely refrain from having sexual relations with anyone; patients are prohibited from having sex during medication treatment, and their spouses must also undergo relevant examinations if necessary.

2. Attention to local damage

The patient may develop numerous millet-sized papules and blisters in the genital area, which may form erosions or ulcers after breaking, and the patient will feel burning and pain. Patients with erosion and ulcers should take care to keep the local area clean, dry and the blister wall intact, and avoid local scratching to prevent further damage. At the same time, patients can use isotonic saline for cleaning every day. Those who experience pain can take oral analgesics and provide mental comfort. For those with obvious pain, 5% lidocaine ointment can be applied externally or oral analgesics can be used.

3. Avoid relapse

Fatigue, alcoholism, exposure of the infected area to strong sunlight, rain, cold, etc., which may cause low immunity of the human body; or friction or damage to the skin, etc. may cause recurrence of the disease and increase the patient's pain. Therefore, patients after treatment should pay attention to preventing colds, colds, fatigue and other inducing factors to reduce the recurrence of the disease.

4. Avoid infection

Especially in summer, when the temperature is high and people sweat a lot, coupled with local scratching, local infection is very likely to occur. It is necessary to clean the genital area with clean water every day. When local infection occurs, the area should be cleaned with disinfectant in time.
