Herpes zoster, two months old, still has small pimples
If shingles still had small pimples after two months, it could be caused by a variety of reasons. First of all, it was necessary to consider whether the treatment was sufficient and the course of treatment was sufficient. If the medication was insufficient or the course of treatment was insufficient, it might cause the virus to not be completely eliminated, resulting in continuous symptoms. From the perspective of nursing and lifestyle, factors such as not maintaining good rest, overwork, unbalanced diet, or bad mood may affect recovery. At the same time, if the patient's immunity was low, it would not be conducive to the recovery of the disease. In view of this situation, it was recommended not to deal with it on their own. The doctor may re-evaluate the condition and adjust the treatment plan according to the specific situation. It may include changing the type of medicine, increasing the dosage of the medicine, or adding other auxiliary treatments, such as physical therapy. During the treatment period, the patient should pay attention to keeping the skin clean, avoid scratching small lumps to avoid infection, and maintain a healthy lifestyle, such as adequate rest, balanced diet, and soothing emotions.

Herpes zoster is cured, why does it still hurt?
The pain after the shingles had healed might be due to postherpetic neuropathic pain (RHN). Herpes zoster was a disease caused by the invasion of the nervous system by the herpesvirus. Nervous damage was the main cause of postherpetic neuropathic pain, and nerve repair could not be completed in a short time. Among patients older than 50 years old, even after standard treatment, 20% of patients still developed postherpetic neuropathic pain. As the aging population increased, the number of patients increased year by year. In addition, in the acute stage of shingles, if the peripheral nociceptor nerves are in a state of continuous excitement (peripheral sensitizing) without timely intervention, this state will lead to an increased response in the sensory receiving area of the central spinal cord (central sensitizing), thus showing pain amplification. Even if the symptoms of shingles disappear, this pain may still exist, and a slight touch can cause severe pain. The novel "Shou Zang" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!
Herpes Zoster (5 Steps)

Prodromal stage: 1 - 5 days after the onset of the disease, the patient will have mild fatigue, low fever, loss of appetite and other general symptoms. The affected skin will feel burning or burning pain, and there will be obvious pain when touched. 3. Rash stage: On the 6th or 7th day of the onset, the affected area often first appears red spots, and soon there are miliary to soybean-sized papules, which are distributed in clusters but do not fuse, and then quickly become blisters. The liquid inside the blisters was clear, and there was a red flush around the blisters. The skin between the blisters was normal. 4. Outbreak stage: The rash blisters are obvious, red and swollen, and the development part gradually extends and spreads (can occur in various parts, usually in the waist). There is itching or obvious tingling, and the blisters will become filled with pus. This stage can last for 1 - 2 weeks. 5.

Do not eat too greasy food: High-fat food will affect the digestive system, induce digestive diseases, reduce immunity, and increase the risk of infection. 5.
