Overview Ocuvir Skin Cream

Herpeskin cream is an antiviral medication indicated for cutaneous herpes simplex virus infections, like cold sores. It works by inhibiting viral replication within skin cells, thus promoting lesion resolution. Herpeskin cream is for topical use only, strictly adhering to your physician's prescribed dosage and duration. Ensure the affected area is clean and dry prior to application. Always wash your hands meticulously before and after use. Avoid unnecessary touching of lesions with hands or cloths to prevent spread. Minor skin reactions such as burning, irritation, itching, and redness at the application site may occur. Prolonged symptoms warrant medical consultation. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, nose, or vagina; accidental contact requires immediate, thorough rinsing with water.
