I’ve been going out to the clinic for a while and have run into more patients with shingles, so I thought I would compile information and then write an article on the subject. The following author will talk about this disease from several aspects. The first is the population: from dermatology to now, the author has seen no less than 500 cases of herpes zoster, age distribution in the 6 to 90 years. The elderly are the most numerous, the children are many, and the young and middle-aged are also there. The ratio of male to female patients is comparable, but the number of children with this disease is more than boys, as to why, I do not understand. The second is the performance: from the name of the disease can be judged from the clinical manifestations of the disease, on two key words, banded and herpes. The so-called band-like is like a belt, a long one. But this belt is very disciplined and never crosses the middle line. In the past, the old ancestors called this disease as waist wrapping dragon, and the legend mentions that if the waist wrapping dragon wraps around the whole waist, the person will not work. However, I have not seen a single case of fatalities due to herpes zoster, let alone a case where this dragon was able to wrap around the entire waist. Besides herpes, it is simple, that this rash will be accompanied by blisters. Of course this is a visual manifestation, and there are some patients who have no outward manifestations, but only pain. The pain of shingles is very characteristic, a burning pain, a pain that is as good as a burning fire. Finally, the treatment: Baidu has a lot of treatments for shingles, and unknown people take a look at the many drugs that must be used to get well. In fact, shingles is a self-limiting disease, if you are still in good health and not very old, even if you do not take any drugs 2 to 3 weeks will heal. The first time I saw shingles was in college, when a patient said he had angina and the teacher said it was shingles when he looked at the area and the pain he was referring to, and then prescribed some Chinese medicine, and he got better after a week. Later, when I studied dermatology, I found that the best thing I could do was to treat herpes zoster without prescribing any special medication, and that I could get better by sticking to it for a week and then letting the patient exercise. The teacher who followed the study of dermatology said that he had never treated shingles for more than a hundred dollars, and later I also inherited his mantle and can say for sure that it will not cost more than a hundred dollars to get well. Of course it depends on the person, if it’s an old man, you certainly can’t say that. But what is certain is that even the elderly need more exercise to be completely cured and not leave any after-effects. My advice is to face this disease is best not to over-treat, with some simple Chinese medicine (need to dialectic), strengthen the body, is the best way to treat.
