Does shingles have sequela?

Herpes zoster may show sequelae. Because herpes zoster is mainly caused by the patient showing varicella-herpes zoster virus infection, it leads to a certain inflammatory damage along the nerve distribution. This inflammation not only produces some related damage to the skin, but also produces certain damage to the related nerves. Therefore, after nerve damage, it generally repairs slowly. Although some herpes zoster has healed, in fact, the skin has been completely scab and shed, but the nerve damage in this part is still not completely repaired, so this time may show certain symptoms of nerve after-pain, most patients may feel that the skin of this part is a little numb or produces certain pain, generally recovery time is relatively long.
