Herpes zoster usually heals without scarring, but the deeper levels of damage from accompanying infections may leave scars, which can be relieved by temporary observation, application of cumquat cream ointment, laser treatment, and so on.
1. Temporary observation: shingles may leave scars after it has healed, but generally it does not affect the patient’s health, so it does not need special treatment.
2. Apply scar removal ointment: If the scars left after herpes zoster affect the aesthetics, you can also apply scar removal ointment to gradually fade away, such as asosine cream ointment, silicone, etc., which has the effect of promoting the healing of wounds and softening the tissues.
3. Laser treatment: For scars left after shingles, you can also use laser treatment such as fractional laser, using the photothermal effect of the laser, a fixed beam of light emitted into the deeper layers of the skin, prompting the scar tissue is no longer transformed into hyperplasia, and then alleviate the phenomenon of localized scars.
It is recommended that the patient can go to the dermatology department of the hospital, under the guidance of the doctor according to the situation of localized scars, to take targeted treatment measures.
