Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of hydrophilic gel (Healit) in supporting skin care in shingles patients. Subject and method: 60 shingles patients divided randomly into 2 groups, with gender similarity, age and severity of the disease, each group of 30 patients, patients of both groups were treated with acyclovir, analgesic, antihistamines, vitamin 3B, topical yarish solution. The patients in the study group were treated with healit cream after applying yarish. Result: After 20 days of treatment, in the study group, 56.67% of patients had a fairly effective result, while in the control group, 60.0% of patients achieving average efficiency, none of the patients in the study group had any undesirable effects. Conclusion: Hydrophilic gel (Healit) is effective in early desquamation for shingles patients.
