What to do if small blisters grow on the penis?

When small blisters grow on the male penis, it is likely that you have herpes. There are many causes of herpes. Many times it may be caused by the patient's body immunity or virus infection. When such symptoms appear, it will have some impact on the patient's physical and mental health. Patients should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid making the condition serious.

1. Antiviral drug treatment

(1) Acyclovir: It is an open-chain purine nucleoside that can inhibit viral deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis, but has little effect on host cell DNA synthesis. It is considered to be the most effective anti-HSV drug currently. For patients with severe conditions, the drug can be given intravenously at a dose of 5 mg per kilogram of body weight, once every 8 hours for 5-7 days. It can quickly reduce the virus, alleviate symptoms, and shorten the healing time. External use of 3%-5% ACV ointment can also alleviate symptoms and shorten the course of the disease.

For patients with frequent relapses, preventive medication can be used, and some patients can completely suppress relapses by taking medication continuously. In recent years, acyclovir analogs have been newly developed, which have the advantages of precise efficacy, high bioavailability, small dosage, long half-life, and less medication frequency.

(2) Ribavirin: It is an analog of guanosine nucleoside and has anti-DNA and RNA virus effects. Taking 800 mg per day for 10 days can relieve pain and shorten the course of the disease.

(3) Phthalide ointment: It can significantly inhibit the replication of herpes virus and is more effective for primary herpes.

2. Vaccines and immunosuppressants: For patients with severe primary genital herpes and recurrent attacks, non-specific vaccines such as BCG and polio vaccine can be tried to enhance the body's non-specific immunity, but the effect is not very reliable and should be used with caution in patients with immunosuppression and immunodeficiency.

3. For patients with recurrent genital herpes, immunopotentiators can be used to improve the body's immune regulation function.
