How long does it take to cure herpes zoster?

Herpes zoster

is a skin disease of the eyelid caused by varicella-herpes zoster virus infection. It is self-limiting and can usually heal in about two to four weeks. However, local neuralgia may last for several months after the disease recovers.

Because the neuralgia caused by the disease is often unbearable, patients should actively go to the hospital to take symptomatic treatment. Gabapentin, prednisone acetate, acyclovir and other drugs can be used according to the doctor's advice to relieve pain symptoms and speed up the recovery of the disease.
