1. Apply medicine. You can apply a small amount of acyclovir ointment topically. But for the fetus, it may be safer not to use medication. Acyclovir ointment.

2. For local treatment, apply 3% phthalamide cream, 3% acyclovir eye ointment and 2% gentian violet solution topically 3 or 4 times a day.

Pregnant women should not use over-the-counter drugs casually. All medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. When treating, drugs that cause little harm to the embryo or fetus should be selected. When using drugs, the minimum effective dose and shortest effective treatment course should be used to avoid blindly using large doses and long periods of time, and avoid combined use of drugs. Unless necessary for medical reasons, try to avoid taking medication in early pregnancy. The concentration of the drug in maternal serum is related to the amount that passes through the placenta to the fetus. If local medication is effective, avoid systemic medication. You should read the "Drug Instructions" carefully before taking any medication, and try not to take any medication that is "for use with caution in pregnant women" or "contraindicated in pregnant women". If the mother's disease infects the fetus, safe drugs should be selected, and the drug concentration in the fetus and amniotic fluid should be close to that in the mother, so that both mother and child can be treated. Drugs that have been widely used in pregnant women for many years should be used, and drugs for which it is difficult to determine whether they have adverse effects on the embryo, fetus, or newborn should be avoided as much as possible. Drugs that have only been theoretically evaluated should be used with caution.
