Herpes Zoster

“Snake” (medical name: herpes zoster) is a banded rash caused by the varicella virus hidden in the body. After the chickenpox is healed, the virus will hide in the human body and sleep, never leave your body, so as long as you have had chickenpox, you have the opportunity to snake. Any place where nerves are connected to the skin has the opportunity to snake, and 95% of adults have a risk of snakes. The snake can last up to 30 days, and the pain is far more than you think.

The severity of life snakes varies, but many people describe the pain caused by snakes to be sharp, intense, and painful. Even if the rash subsides, it still feels uncomfortable or even light. Light touch can also be extremely sensitive.

The snake vaccine is suitable for men and women aged 50 or above and only needs 1 inoculation. Those who have anaphylactic shock response to vaccine components including gelatin (Gelatin) and Neomycin, patients with primary and secondary immune system problems, are taking drugs of the depressed immune system (such as high-dose steroids). Patients, patients with tuberculosis, normal onset and untreated or pregnant women are not applicable. After inoculation with the snake vaccine, there may be side effects. Common side effects such as slight redness, swelling and pain may occur at the injection site, and some people may have headaches. Therefore, consult a doctor before vaccination.
