- Herpes Zoster (Shingles) – Painful blistering rash from reactivated chickenpox virus
- Warts (HPV) – Rough skin growths, often on hands, feet, or genital area
- Molluscum Contagiosum – Dome-shaped, pearly bumps mostly in children

Keep Affected Areas Covered
Cover rashes or blisters with clean dressings to prevent transmission and protect the skin from injury.

Touching lesions can spread the virus to other body parts or cause secondary bacterial infection.
Disinfect Frequently Used Items

Use Medications as Prescribed
Follow your dermatologist’s advice regarding antiviral creams or oral medications.
Limit Sun Exposure
Excess sun may worsen certain viral skin conditions—apply sunscreen and wear protective clothing.
Avoid Self-Medication
Do not use over-the-counter creams or home remedies without guidance, as they may worsen the condition.
