The drug can reduce the severity of symptoms and their duration. For viral infections, it can stop skin sores and acne from forming and help them heal much faster. It can also help prevent the spread of viruses in those with weak immune systems. Acyclovir can also reduce pain, irritation, and inflammation of the skin in areas where there are sores, acne, or at the injection site.
