Herpes zoster is a very common viral infection in dermatology. The virus is called varicella zoster virus, and the disease is commonly known as snake bile sores or snake sores. In both men and women, the disease has mild flu-like symptoms early in the course of the disease, with malaise, low-grade fever, and an itchy or pins-and-needles feeling at the site of the disease. As time passes, these symptoms become more pronounced and erythema zoster develops, followed by clusters of blisters. These are the early symptoms of herpes zoster in women, and it is important to treat herpes zoster early under the guidance of a medical professional.
