Can herpes zoster heal on its own?

Eyelid herpes zoster can heal spontaneously, and the duration of the disease is usually about 2-4 weeks. However, sequelae such as severe neuralgia and local sensory dullness and numbness that remain after the disease has healed can persist for months.
The pain caused by the disease is often unbearable and can lead to serious complications. Therefore, medical treatment is still recommended.
