How to cure pus caused by herpes zoster? im already taking up oral antibiotic.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes zoster: Keep taking the antibiotic. The blisters should dry up after a few days. If you're impatient, use a sterile needle and pop the blisters, then clean the area with some soap and water. Then keep the area dry.
