Olga Miromanova, Dermatologist, Cosmetologist:
- Herpes virus can affect the nervous system and cause serious complications. Therefore, those who already have a virus in the blood should protect others. And if a person is healthy, then you need to do everything to not pick up the virus. During the exacerbation of herpes, physical contacts should be limited - not to kiss, it is desirable not to live sex life, sleep separately and use individual means of hygiene, dishes, towels.
During the exacerbation of herpes, it is impossible to make the lips tattoo, increase their fillers. It is dangerous if for the first time herpes appeared on the lips during pregnancy: this means that the immune system has failed, and a specialist consultation is necessary.
Unfortunately, at this stage of the development of medicine to cure herpes forever impossible. But this does not mean that nothing can be done. If a person has herpes virus, his task is to strengthen health so that the virus does not "raise his head as long as possible." Refusal to bad habits, sports, a full diet, the right work and recreation mode - all this helps to avoid exacerbations. Also, today there is a new method - MDM therapy - which helps to intensify the immune system, increase the body's ability to adapt and remove the effects of stress.
