Just because shingles breaks out on its own doesn’t mean it’s almost over. Herpes zoster is an infectious disease caused by the varicella zoster virus that affects the nerves and the skin. Under normal circumstances, when the blisters of herpes zoster dry up, crust over, fall off, and the pain subsides, it means that herpes zoster is almost cured, and that herpes zoster breaking out on its own cannot be taken as a reference to whether or not it is getting better. Herpes zoster broken by itself is not only not almost well, but also need to pay attention to keep the lesions around clean and dry, to avoid secondary other infections, avoid scratching and so on. You can use povidone-iodine solution to carry out local anti-infection treatment, and at the same time use antiviral drugs for herpes zoster treatment, such as acyclovir tablets, vaxilovir hydrochloride tablets and so on. All of the above medications should be used under the guidance of a doctor, and patients are advised to seek medical treatment in a timely manner.
