The onset of the disease mostly occurred between June and August. Treatment involved the application of a 5% Alum solution as a wet compress, resulting in complete recovery (pain disappeared, erythema subsided, herpes dried up, and scabs fell off without significant pigmentation). Among the cases, 5 (11.63%) were cured after 1 day of Alum solution wet compress, 6 (13.95%) after 2 days, 16 (37.21%) after 3 days, 14 (32.56%) after 4 days, and 2 (4.65%) after 5 days, with an average cure time of 3.09 days.
