Smallpox disease or the so-called 'Herpes' by the medical community is a skin inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of bubbles filled with water in groups. Smallpox disease or Herpes There are 2 kinds of classes, and Herpes Zoster Herpes Genetalis.

Genetalis herpes is an infection or inflammation (bubble blister) on the skin especially genital (vagina, penis, including the door rectum / anus and buttocks and groin / groin) is caused by herpes simplex virus (VHS), while Herpes Zoster or by any other name 'shingles' is a skin infection caused by varicella-zoster virus that causes bubbles in the liquid almost the entire body.

Herpes zoster is also said to be an infectious disease of the skin which is a continuation of the chickenpox (chicken pox) due to a virus that attacks are the same, only there is a difference with the chicken pox. Herpes zoster is characterized by smallpox larger bubbles and clusters in certain parts of the body, can in the back, forehead or chest.

In general, all types of herpes can be transmitted through direct contact. However, in herpes zoster, which occurs in diseases such as smallpox (chickenpox), the transmission can be through sneezing, coughing, contaminated clothing and touch up bubbles / blisters that burst. Genital herpes disease (genetalia), transmission occurs through sexual behavior. So the disease is sometimes suffered genetalis Herpes mouth section due to oral sex. The symptoms will arise in the period 7-21 days after a person is in contact (infected) varicella-zoster virus.

Someone who has had chicken pox and later healed, the virus is actually not 100% lost from the body, but hiding in the dorsal ganglion cells with sensory nervous system. When the immune system (immune) weakened, the virus will return in the form of herpes zoster attack which caused symptoms similar to chickenpox disease (chickenpox). For someone who has never had chicken pox, if attacked by the varicella-zoster virus is not directly experienced herpes zoster but had chicken pox first.

Giving Acyclovir tablets (Desciclovir, famciclovir, valacyclovir, and penciclovir) as an antiviral aims to reduce fever, pain, complications and protect a person from the inability of the immune system against the herpes virus.
