What medicine should be chosen when chickenpox appears in the private parts?

Patient's question:

The private parts have also developed chickenpox, extremely itchy. Can calamine lotion be used to wipe the private parts? If not, what medicine should be chosen?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your condition analysis, this might be herpes caused by a viral infection. It is recommended to try acyclovir ointment or idoxuridine cream.
Suggestions: If you have blisters, it is suggested to use a sterile cotton swab dipped in povidone-iodine for disinfection, then use a sterile syringe to puncture the blister and apply idoxuridine cream again for better effect. You can also take oral antiviral medication simultaneously.
