How long does herpes usually take to heal?

The treatment cycle of herpes zoster is generally 7-15 days, but the postherpetic neuralgia may last for several months to several years, depending on the specific physical condition of the patient. If it is a young, healthy person, then the recovery time of herpes zoster is relatively short, and the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia is relatively low. However, patients with multiple medical diseases, such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, combined malignant tumors or AIDS, need a longer treatment cycle for herpes zoster, and the incidence of postherpetic neuralgia is also relatively high, and the pain caused by postherpetic neuralgia will be more intense, and the time for improvement may also take several years.
