Does postherpetic neuralgia hurt forever?

Postherpetic neuralgia is generally referred to as postherpetic neuralgia, which can be cured and usually does not hurt for the rest of your life. Postherpetic neuralgia refers to postherpetic neuralgia that occurs after the herpes skin damage has been treated because the patient’s immune system is lowered so that the damage to the nerves from the virus still persists. The duration of postherpetic neuralgia is generally related to the age of the patient. postherpetic neuralgia is less likely to occur in patients under the age of 40, and short-term postherpetic neuralgia is possible in patients over the age of 60. Only a very small percentage of patients may have persistent pain if they do not receive prompt treatment or are not treated properly. Patients are advised to maintain good living habits, healthy diet, actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, regular review after healing, and seek medical attention if there are any uncomfortable symptoms.
