What should I do if I have herpes and it swells

Modern medical technology is becoming more and more advanced, but it seems that the possibility of people getting sick has not decreased. Various skin diseases, such as herpes dermatitis, are very common. In fact, even if you are very clean, clean frequently, and have good personal hygiene, you may still be infected due to factors such as a fast pace of life and work, too much pressure, a bad emotional state, or low immunity. So, as a viral skin disease - herpes, how should we deal with, treat and prevent it after infection? Today, let us take a look at all aspects of herpes.

Severe neuralgia and clustered blisters are typical symptoms of shingles. Especially the symptoms of neuralgia, due to factors such as uncertain pain locations and uncertain pain durations, often have a great impact on the patient's quality of life. For shingles, early treatment is critical. Early symptoms of shingles are:

1. The initial symptoms are relatively hidden, but there is usually a strange feeling at the site of disease occurrence 5 to 7 days before the rash, such as pain, itching, numbness, tightness, etc., which can easily lead to misdiagnosis.

2. Then red papules like prickly heat or transparent blisters of varying sizes will appear, mostly distributed in bands.

3. The site of onset is not fixed and can occur in multiple parts of the human body, but most of the time it occurs on one side.
