this virus arises when our immune system is weakened or when we are exposed to
high stress situations.
The
symptoms are characterized by the appearance of blisters with liquid clear,
causing pain in the skin and itching, headache and general discomfort. The
patient tends to think that you it's a flu.
Rash
develops on the lines of the nerves on top of the ribs, arms or neck. When the
blisters mature, they burst and crust, and finally heal.
Herpes
zoster can leave a very serious sequel called postherpetic neuralgia. It is
characterized by severe pain in the area affected by the virus which is very
difficult to calm with medication. The condition can be extended up to two
years.
