Herpes Zoster

 Print
Herpes Zoster - also known as ‘shingles' - is a painful blistering rash caused by re-activation of chickenpox virus. Herpes Zoster rash has a ‘belt-like' appearance that affects only one side of the body due to its limitation to an area served by a specific single nerve. The rash is normally preceded by pain and/or tenderness in the affected area. Once the red painful rash breaks out on the skin, it fast develops into blisters that burst and crust over a period of a week or longer. Skin discolorations as well as debilitating post-herpetic neuralgic pain often follow. Post herpetic neuralgia (PHN) often lingers in the affected areas for many months or even years after the blisters are healed.          

Post herpetic neuralgia is very difficult to treat. Conventional treatments, such as pain killers, can be unsatisfactory and/or unsuccessful.  Post herpetic neuralgic pain can be highly debilitating and can considerably reduce the quality of life for a long time. From the patient's perspective, it is important to treat the existing pain effectively and speedily and to prevent its re-occurrence. 

Laser photo therapy is very successful in the treatment of acute symptoms of Herpes Zoster and in the prevention of post herpetic neuralgia. Laser light reduces the painful symptoms in the acute phase and helps to prevent post herpetic neuralgia from arising.
