Why does herpes zoster still hurt after it has healed?

Herpes simplex is a very serious skin disease. It is very harmful. The main site of disease is the waist, which can cause great harm to people's health. Severe herpes simplex can also threaten the patient's life. Therefore, herpes simplex is in great need of treatment. However, why do some patients still feel pain after herpes simplex has healed? Let’s take a look at the explanation below.

This may still be a sign of incomplete recovery. Herpes zoster is an acute skin and mucosal infectious disease caused by varicella-zoster virus. Clinically, it is characterized by sudden onset of herpes, which is distributed along nerve bands, unilaterally, and in dense clusters. It is painful and rarely recurs after recovery. You can consider treatment with acyclovir. In severe cases, you can combine it with some interferon treatment, which can also be helpful.

Postherpetic neuralgia is considered to be mainly caused by untimely or improper treatment of herpes zoster, and is mostly seen in middle-aged and elderly people, with the elderly being the majority. Most of the symptoms will gradually improve or disappear over time. Currently, treatment is difficult. You can go to the hospital for laser irradiation or acupuncture and physical therapy to relieve local pain. Oral and external use of quick-acting heart-saving pills may have certain effects. You can also combine Chinese and Western medicine for treatment. For persistent pain, local nerve resection may be considered.

The most feared consequence of herpes zoster is if it is not treated properly. It is not a good thing for the affected skin surface to heal with scabs and leave pain! The herpes virus hidden in the nerves cannot be completely eliminated, and the outer skin heals, but the herpes virus continues to erode the skin nerves where the diseased skin originally occurred, leaving unbearable painful sequelae! The pain can only be eliminated and the disease can be cured if the herpes virus is removed and expelled from the body. Treatment with Qiu's Qiu Pharmacy's "Special Medicine for Herpes Zoster and Its Sequelae" can draw out toxins, treat both inside and outside, reduce swelling and relieve pain. As the herpes virus is gradually drawn out and discharged from the body, the pain will gradually decrease and eventually disappear. Only when the herpes virus is drawn out and discharged from the body can the patient recover completely without any sequelae.
