Early this morning
Na Ying and shingles are on the hot search
Originally
Na Ying was participating in a domestic variety show
Half of the shape is covered with a veil
Singing on stage while sick
Moderator He Jiong explained
Na Ying had shingles two days ago
around the eyes
Although it is not always possible to know exactly what shingles is
But I have generally heard the folk saying "loincloth dragon"
So how can it still grow on the eyes?
Who is susceptible to shingles?
We consulted a professional doctor about this
Liu Ronggen, Deputy Director and Chief Physician of the Department of Dermatology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University: Herpes zoster is a relatively common disease in our dermatology department, mainly because the varicella-zoster virus continues to replicate and multiply. The first infection of this virus manifests itself in the form of chickenpox, of course, there are also latent infections without any symptoms, but after infection, it will latent in these parts of the spinal nerves.
When you get older
Reasons such as overwork, mental stress, etc
When the immune function is weakened
Varicella-zoster virus disease
will be "activated" again
Causes shingles
Liu Ronggen, Deputy Director and Chief Physician of the Department of Dermatology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University: They are all unilaterally distributed, mainly causing blisters and redness of the skin clusters, which not only have these manifestations in clinical practice, but also have some pain.
According to doctors, shingles is more common on one side of the body and is arranged in a band-like pattern along a certain peripheral nerve area. When the pain occurs, it is like a fire, so it is also called "fire snake around the waist". But in fact, the site of shingles is not only the waist, in addition to the common chest and waist, it can also infect the head and eyes in the distribution area of the trigeminal nerve.
Liu Ronggen, Deputy Director of the Department of Dermatology and Chief Physician of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University: If the eye is affected, it is quite troublesome to cause viral keratitis, but the probability will be very low. Once the eye is affected, not only in the dermatology department, but also in the ophthalmology department, it will be much longer than a simple skin infection. If the cornea is damaged, sometimes it does affect vision, but the probability is very low.
Doctor reminds
For patients over 60 years of age
Also be wary of postherpetic neuralgia
Postherpetic neuralgia
It is after the shingles rash has healed
The most common complication
The pain is often severe and unbearable
According to statistics
About 10% of patients
Postherpetic neuralgia can occur
If left untreated
Pain may be persistent
And even exacerbated
Liu Ronggen, Deputy Director of the Department of Dermatology and Chief Physician of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Nanchang University: The older you are, the greater the probability of postherpetic neuralgia. After the rash and erythema blisters disappear, it will be painful for a long time, and it is common for 1-3 months and 1-6 months. For this high-risk group who are prone to postherpetic neuralgia, the herpes zoster vaccine can be used, which is also a method.
