The itching in the later stages of shingles usually lasts for a few days and slowly disappears. Herpes zoster is mainly due to varicella-zoster virus infection. The virus is found in the neurons of the posterior root ganglion of the spinal cord and becomes active again when the body’s immunity decreases. Herpes zoster is mainly characterized by paroxysmal pinprick-like pain in the early stages, and later the pain is relieved and itching, numbness and other uncomfortable symptoms can occur. During this period, the patient’s treatment is mainly based on nerve nutrition and antipruritic. In addition, during the late itching of shingles, patients should pay attention to avoid scratching the local skin as much as possible, and eat a light, easy-to-digest diet without alcohol.
