Type 2 herpes can be treated with topical applications such as Herpes Clean Ointment, zinc oxide ointment, gentian violet solution, or neomycin ointment under the guidance and cooperation of a physician. Applying these locally helps alleviate symptoms. Additionally, antiviral medications such as acyclovir or valacyclovir should be taken orally. Other treatment methods may include intravenous infusion or intramuscular injection of interferon.
