“Cold on the lips”: how to care for your skin

Why do scars appear after herpes?

The virus does not always pass without a trace for humans. Unpleasant scars and spots on the skin form for several reasons:

• when herpes appears in one place over and over again;
• if a person has diabetes;
• when bubbles were squeezed out or punctured;
• if the immune system is severely weakened;
• after a long stay in the sun;
• after improper treatment.

But even in these cases, you can make the scar less noticeable or get rid of it completely.

Folk remedies

• Warming up. You need to take a silver spoon, heat it in hot water, and apply it to the affected area. The procedure must be performed several times.
• Hypothermia. Take an ice cube and apply it to the area of ​​the rash.
• Apple vinegar. The product is used to lubricate the inflamed area until a crust forms. Please note that the method is effective only at an early stage, when there is no suppuration or wounds.

If you respond promptly, herpes goes away in a few days. In the event that it does not get better, the rashes begin to worsen even more, you should consult a doctor. Sometimes deterioration indicates a malfunction of the immune system, for which it is necessary to undergo a course of immunotherapy.

Thus, herpes is an unpleasant and sometimes dangerous virus. Traces may remain after just a few hours. Therefore, if you are aware of the virus, it is better to use cold sore remedies in advance. Please note that bubbles can appear at any time, after the slightest nervous shock. It is especially unpleasant when rashes occur before an important event and leave marks behind. To prevent the problem, try to strengthen your immune system, eat well, get tested in a timely manner, undergo treatment, and avoid all possible stress. Remember, the virus attacks a weakened body, so think about prevention!

How to prevent scar formation?

Before the appearance of herpes, we feel itching and burning at the site of manifestation. If at this moment you use antiviral drugs that stop the spread of herpes, you can avoid the formation of a scar. Start using medications as soon as the first signs of the disease appear. You will help your body and significantly speed up the regeneration of the skin.

How and with what to treat scars from herpes?

If a scar has already appeared, then you can get rid of it in several ways:

• medications;
• cosmetic procedures;
• folk remedies;
• masks and applications;
• innovative Fermenkol gel.

Benefits of ointments and gels

To eliminate scars and crusts from herpes, special products are used. They stimulate skin regeneration and have a number of advantages:

• the highest concentration of active substances is achieved at the site of the lesion;
• the virus does not spread to adjacent areas of the skin;
• you can combine several gels and ointments for scars after herpes, which differ in the principle of action;
• most products do not cause allergic reactions and are easily tolerated by the body;
• you can use healing gels even on old scars;
• there is no need to monitor the dosage.

For example, the innovative product Fermenkol gel has a complex effect on the scar area. Quickly destroys scar marks and gives the skin a natural healthy color. The active components of the gel destroy the basis of the scar - deformed collagen fibers - and restore a healthy skin frame. Fermenkol does not contain hormones and consists of enzymes of natural origin, so it can be safely used on the body and face, including on the scar on the lip after herpes.

After the wounds have healed, use soft cleansing scrubs for the face and body. Cosmetics quickly restore the epidermis. But it is better to use exfoliating creams no more than once a week, so as not to injure the skin.

Ways to deal with scars

Herpes spots are not too serious a problem compared to scars. They look especially unattractive on the lips and other areas of the skin. We draw your attention to the following procedures:

• Paraffin application . Buy purified paraffin at the pharmacy, melt it, and lubricate the affected skin with warm (not hot) wax. Then you need to wait until it hardens and you can remove it. Attention! Paraffin should not be used in case of dilation of blood vessels.
• Badyaga quickly gets rid of scars. You can buy the powder at the pharmacy, just be sure to use the instructions to apply the product correctly.
• Preparations for stimulating tissue regeneration. All medications can be divided into: special gels and ointments should be used to prevent spots and scars. It is also recommended to use a second group of medications that help heal the skin faster and remove scars.
• Healing gels. Dermatix and Contractubex are considered effective, but they cannot be used for more than a month.

How to get rid of a herpes scar with the help of a cosmetologist?

If you want to eliminate a scar or trace of herpes in visible places, you can use the services of a cosmetologist. You will not get the desired effect in one procedure, but if you complete a full course of manipulations, you can achieve very good results. The following procedures will help eliminate scars after herpes:

• ozone therapy;
• laser therapy;
• deep peeling;
• dermabrasion;
• mesotherapy.

The procedures described above perfectly eliminate fine wrinkles and marks from herpes and acne. Combining several of them at the same time is not recommended. All cosmetic procedures must be carried out under the close supervision of a specialist. Each manipulation has its own contraindications and is allowed only after consulting a doctor. Remember that the procedures are quite painful and require a recovery period.

Herpes simplex - symptoms and treatment

The incubation period for the acquired form lasts 2-14 days. Most often, it cannot be installed due to lack of manifestation.

Herpes simplex in children usually occurs as stomatitis and gingivitis - the temperature rises, fever, general intoxication, focal hyperemia (redness) of all mucous formations of the oral cavity, pain when chewing, increased salivation. Small children refuse to eat due to pain. In a short period of time, small vesicular rashes appear at the site of hyperemia, which quickly open, leaving behind painful erosions - aphthae. Regional lymph nodes enlarge and become painful. Over time, the immune system strengthens and the symptoms gradually regress without any traces of damage. Relapses are rare.

When the skin is affected (mainly in adults), vesicular rashes often appear around the mouth, wings of the nose, and sometimes on the torso and buttocks. The rash consists of small vesicles with serous contents on a slightly hyperemic skin background. Subsequently, they open and dry out, after which crusts form without a trace.

Sometimes the bubbles merge into quite large bubbles. Often their contents fester, oozing forms, and a secondary streptococcal or staphylococcal infection (staphylo- and streptoderma) occurs.

General health, as a rule, does not change. Sometimes the regional lymph node may be slightly enlarged and painful. In general, the process rarely lasts more than a week.

With severe immunodeficiencies, the infection may take a more widespread (generalized) course. In this case, a syndrome of general infectious intoxication occurs and internal organs are affected: the liver and spleen are enlarged, the nervous system is affected (meningoencephalitis, encephalitis and meningitis), as well as the lungs, kidneys and other organs. With relapses of a chronic infection, patients sometimes feel mild discomfort and tingling in the area of ​​future rashes.

With genital herpes, rashes appear on the skin and mucous membranes in the genital area and perineum. They are usually accompanied by soreness, hyperemia of the surrounding tissue, enlargement and tenderness of the inguinal lymph nodes. The frequency of relapse depends on the individual characteristics of the immune system.

With ophthalmoherpes - eye herpes - unilateral lesions are more often observed due to the transition of the primary process to the organ of vision, i.e., a secondary lesion occurs. Keratitis, blepharoconjunctivitis, iridocyclitis, uveitis, chorioretinitis, optic neuritis and other manifestations may be observed.

A very unusual form of manifestation of herpes simplex is known as Kaposi's eczema herpetiformis - eczema herpeticum. As a rule, it occurs in people who have any skin disease or predisposition to it (dermatosis or “problem skin”). In this case, intoxication and high body temperature are observed, herpetic blisters appear everywhere, quite abundant and closely spaced, periodically merging, sometimes with hemorrhagic impregnation. In some cases, they suppurate, then they open, dry out and form a solid crust. When the rash is completely treated with green paint, the patient’s skin takes on the appearance of crocodile skin. The disease is often quite severe and can lead to death.

During pregnancy, the child becomes infected:

• before birth - in 5% of cases (primary infection and ascending infection during this period are rare);
• during childbirth, i.e. when passing through the natural birth canal - in 95% of cases.

With primary infection of a pregnant woman in the first trimester or with ascending infection of the fetus, malformations often develop that are incompatible with life, or a miscarriage occurs, especially when infected with type II herpes virus, which is the infecting agent most often - up to 80% of cases.

When a pregnant woman is infected in the second and third trimesters, the risk of injury to the child is about 50%. At the same time, the liver and spleen enlarge, specific inflammation of the lungs, jaundice, metabolic disorders, malnutrition, meningoencephalitis, anemia and more occur. After birth, it can occur either in an asymptomatic subclinical form or have severe disabling consequences - blindness, severe damage to the central nervous system, deafness [1][2][6][8][11].

How to get rid of a herpes scar on the lip at home?

To eliminate scars, products that we use in everyday life are suitable. They are rich in vitamins and affect not only the scar, but also the skin in general. It is important to use them as additional agents and not as monotherapy. For example, after cosmetic procedures you can additionally use:

• Lemon juice. Brightens the skin and works as a mild acid peel.
• Parsley decoction. A good lightening agent. After preparation, the infusion is poured into an ice tray and placed in the freezer. In the future, cubes are used as pigmentation appears.
• Cucumber juice. Apply a slice to the damaged area to help prevent the skin from drying out.

Herbal infusions

Traditional medicine is rich in recipes that will help get rid of scars. The disappearance of wounds and spots from herpes is accelerated by herbal decoctions:

• chamomile and celandine - heal;
• St. John's wort - starts the regeneration process;
• calendula - helps relieve itching and soothe the skin.

Herbs help lighten the skin and partially eliminate pigmentation formed after herpes.

What it is

This term suggests a symptom complex of secondary rashes. They appear after various forms of skin inflammation, pimples, and acne. Considering that its debut usually occurs in adolescence, the remaining traces pose a serious problem for youth and affect the psychological state of young people. If acne develops at an older age, the patient may also experience post-acne; treatment in this case is complicated by the general condition of the skin.

The consequences come in the following forms:

• hyperpigmentation;
• pathological scars;
• atheromas;
• milia (whiteheads).

Treatment and subsequent recovery of patients requires an integrated approach.

Treatment with innovative gel

Traditional recipes are good, but, unfortunately, they do not guarantee results. If you want to achieve a wow effect, we recommend paying attention to Fermencol anti-scar gel. It is effective for all types of scars, including scars from boils and cosmetic procedures. They can even treat old scars. Unlike other anti-scar agents, Fermenkol does not contain hormones, is safe for children and pregnant women, and can be used during lactation.

To eliminate old scars, it is most effective to use Fermenkol with physiotherapy: electrophoresis or phonophoresis. The active components of the gel and the physical impact of the procedures give a double effect, and the scars resolve much faster. The gel is also used during the rehabilitation period after surgery, surgical procedures and cosmetology.

After just 2 weeks of regular use, you will notice the result: the scars will turn pale, decrease in size, and become less dense. Upon completion of the course, the skin will be restored by 90%.
