How to deal with itchy shingles scabs?

Herpes is a very common skin disease in life, and most of the cases are caused by a malignant virus infection. For ordinary people, the herpes virus can be very torturous and the pain is extremely intense. For example, the herpes zoster virus is one of the typical symptoms, and this herpes often has symptoms of scabs and itching at the end of the onset. Let’s take a look at whether the scabs and itching of herpes zoster have been cured? How to deal with it?

The herpes scabs fall off, indicating that it is in the recovery period. Pain, itching, and even numbness are common manifestations of this disease besides herpes. Pain is the difficult part of this disease that is difficult to treat, because the pain caused by shingles is neuralgia, which is less sensitive to general analgesics. In addition, it is clinically believed that if the pain in the rash area persists for more than 1 month after the herpes is healed, or even longer, postherpetic neuralgia may have occurred, making this disease difficult to treat. Therefore, early antiviral treatment must be thorough, and you can follow the doctor's advice to see if you need to continue taking antiviral drugs. If you feel itchy, you must not scratch it to avoid infection. The more you scratch, the itchier it becomes. You can use cold compresses or divert your attention to reduce the itching.

Treatment method:

1. When it itches, patients can apply calamine lotion (2 to 3 times a day) or apply vinegar to soak the itching agent.

3. If it is not resolved, it may be chronic neuritis (take VB1 three times a day, after meals, three times a day, long-term use)

2. If the problem is not solved by external application, you can take drugs to prevent the production of "histamine" orally

3. (Take one tablet half an hour after breakfast, once a day. If you feel stomach discomfort, you can take one tablet every two days).

4. You can take anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs such as aspirin, vitamin B1, and vitamin B12, and apply 2% gentian violet solution topically. Usually you should pay attention to strengthening exercise to improve the body's immune function.

The occurrence of shingles is ultimately the result of excessive internal fire and the invasion of poisons. As long as you maintain a strong resistance, you can generally resist this disease. During the treatment process of shingles, there will inevitably be a scabbing stage. At this time, if you scratch randomly, it may delay the treatment effect of herpes, and even aggravate the condition in serious cases, making previous treatments ineffective.
