Herpes zoster is self-limiting, and most of it resolves spontaneously after a few weeks, but active treatment can relieve symptoms and shorten the duration of the disease. 1. Herpes zoster is usually caused by reactivation of the latent varicella zoster virus in the body, and is typically characterized by clusters of blisters distributed in bands on one side of the torso, accompanied by pain and a burning sensation. The disease is self-limiting, most patients can usually after a few weeks, rely on their own resistance to self-healing, a small number of patients due to poor health, and can not subside on their own. 2. As the disease can present with symptoms of neuralgia and skin blisters, active treatment measures can improve the symptoms. For example, the use of antiviral drugs such as acyclovir and valacyclovir and glycerite lotion as prescribed by the doctor can shorten the duration of the disease and accelerate the healing of the rash. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen can also be used for relief if the pain is unbearable. With the onset of herpes zoster at a younger age, shingles vaccination is an important preventive measure against herpes zoster and postherpetic neuralgia. Recombinant herpes zoster vaccine or live attenuated herpes zoster vaccine can be administered as vaccine options. Recombinant vaccine is suitable for people over 50 years old, and domestic live attenuated shingles vaccine is suitable for adults aged 40 years and above, with one injection, low incidence of side effects and good safety. Timely vaccination is recommended for disease prevention. Please consult your doctor if you have any concerns. It is recommended that patients with herpes zoster go to the hospital in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment, which can reduce the uncomfortable symptoms.
