Question about Zovirax cream?

I have this small pimple like spots on my arms and legs that apper when the weather is hot. They are really small and dry but really itchy. My friend recommended zovirax cream because she also has the same problem. She said a doctor gave it to her for allergies. Does Zovirax really work and what is it really for.Question about Zovirax cream?
If it works in your particular problem I'll say 1.you are using yourself as a guinea pig for experimenting 2. you should publish your success as this has never been described.





Zovirax is an antiviral agent effective in Herpes Zoster. It is NOT an antiallergic agent ,which, may be more appropriate in your case.

Zovirax is an anti-funngal cream, so unless it is a fungal infection, i very much it would work.


Sounds like you are getting a heat rash, try taking anti-histamines in the summer to help.

Acyclovir (ay-SYE-kloe-veer) belongs to the family of medicines called antivirals. Antivirals are used to treat infections caused by viruses. Usually they work for only one kind or group of virus infections.


Topical acyclovir is used to treat the symptoms of herpes simplex virus infections of the skin, mucous membranes, and genitals (sex organs). Although topical acyclovir will not cure herpes simplex, it may help relieve the pain and discomfort and may help the sores (if any) heal faster. Topical acyclovir may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.


Please see the web pages for more details on Acyclovir (generic name) Zovirax (brand name).
Zovirax is an anti-viral drug used against herpes simplex ie cold sores.It is useless against allergies.


You are describing what is possibly urticaria, which is an allergic response to something...maybe you are using a biological washing powder? If so, change it to a NON-biological powder.


To ease the problem you could use Crotamiton cream (Eurax cream), applying lightly every 6 hours.


Keep the areas well-aired in hot weather, ie. no trousers or sleeves.
Avoid commercial moisturizers completely. These only serve to block your pores so that they can't breathe at all. The lotion itself may feel soothing, but it is doing serious damage in the process.





Get some pine tar soap in either bar or liquid form and wash the affected areas with this. Rinse with a solution of 50% apple cider vinegar and 50% water. Pat dry rather than rubbing. Additionally, ingest at least a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar every day. You can add it to your apple juice or a glass of water or make a kind of tea with it by adding it to a cup of steaming water or have a salad with apple cider vinegar and oil as the dressing. This will help work on the problem from the inside while you are working on the problem on the surface.
