Folliculitis is usually not left with skin neuralgia after healing, herpes zoster can be left with skin neuralgia. Herpes zoster is a skin disease caused by varicella zoster virus infection. The lesions are usually located on the side of the midline of the body and are distributed along the course of the nerves, usually in the form of bands, hence the name herpes zoster. The common lesions appear as red macules and blisters. Because of the nerve-invasive nature of the varicella-zoster virus, the rash is painful and some people with herpes zoster experience neuropathic pain after the rash has resolved. If it attacks the optic or auditory nerves, it can lead to blindness or deafness. Therefore, it is important to go to the hospital in time and start treatment as soon as possible in order to avoid the negative consequences of neuralgia and other residual neuralgia.
