What should be noted in the diet for herpes zoster?
After a human body is infected with the varicella-zoster virus, the virus can remain dormant for a long time in the posterior spinal nerves, nerve roots, or trigeminal nerve roots. When the body's immunity is lowered, it can trigger the disease herpes zoster. The onset of the disease indicates that the patient has recently been fatigued or suffering from serious diseases such as malignant tumors, leading to lowered resistance. Therefore, during the period of suffering from herpes zoster, patients should not only pay more attention to rest but also be particularly careful with their diet. They should eat less spicy, stimulating, and greasy food, and avoid smoking, alcohol, and betel nuts. They can eat more nutritious food with a high content of dietary fiber and protein, such as fresh vegetables, lean meat, and nuts, to enhance resistance.
What are the symptoms of folliculitis?
Folliculitis is a common purulent inflammatory skin disease, usually caused by bacterial infection. The symptoms of folliculitis initially manifest as small red papules which, after several days or weeks, develop small pustules at the center with a surrounding erythema forming pustules. These dry out or rupture later to form yellow crusts. Generally, there are no scars left after the crust peels off.
How long does it take to cure third-stage syphilis?
Third-stage syphilis is the most severe stage of the disease. It generally damages the nervous system and cardiovascular system of the human body, thus having a significant impact. There is no definite timeline for the cure of third-stage syphilis. The treatment of third-stage syphilis primarily involves controlling the condition with medication; there is still no specific method that can completely cure it thoroughly. Therefore, it is necessary to take medication for a long period. Currently, for treating third-stage syphilis, procaine penicillin is generally chosen for patients. In fact, procaine penicillin mainly helps effectively control the syphilis spirochete.
Is herpes zoster prone to recurrence?
After recovery from herpes zoster, it is not easy for the condition to recur. Herpes zoster is a disease caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, which infects the human body and lies dormant in the nerve roots, particularly when the immune system is weakened. Therefore, after recovery from herpes zoster, patients generally do not suffer from it again and can obtain long-lasting immunity. However, clinically, there are indeed some herpes zoster patients who experience recurrent episodes. This often directly relates to a decline in the patient's own immune resistance. Patients with underlying diseases, those who are chronically tired or fatigued, or those using immunosuppressive drugs, are prone to recurrent episodes of herpes zoster. Thus, while it is not easy for herpes zoster to recur, it is not absolutely non-recurrent.
How is herpes zoster transmitted?
Shingles is caused by the activation of the varicella-zoster virus that lies dormant in the nerve roots, affecting both the skin and nerves. There are several ways shingles can spread, mainly through direct contact or droplet transmission. Direct contact transmission primarily occurs because the blister fluid in shingles blisters contains a high concentration of the virus. Therefore, before the blisters of a person with shingles are completely dry, they are somewhat contagious, primarily affecting those with lower resistance such as the elderly, children, women of childbearing age, pregnant women, and so on.
How to completely cure skin allergies?
To fundamentally cure skin allergies, it is first necessary to identify the allergens causing the patient's allergies. Once the allergens are identified, it is essential to avoid further contact with these allergens. Subsequently, treatment can be undertaken using anti-allergy or antihistamine drugs. Finally, during the period of skin allergy, it is important to maintain a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, and abstain from smoking and alcohol.
When does prickly heat itch?
Prickly heat commonly occurs when temperatures are high, the weather is hot, or when the skin's resistance is weak. One of the main symptoms of prickly heat is itching, particularly prevalent during excessively hot weather, especially when sweating occurs. The sweat soaking into the skin can lead to the appearance of symptoms such as papules and vesicles, which can be particularly itchy. It is advisable to manage these symptoms appropriately.
What should erysipelas patients pay attention to in their diet?
Patients with erysipelas need to pay special attention to their diet during illness, as their body's resistance and immunity are relatively low. It is advised that they eat more green vegetables and fruits, such as leafy greens, carrots, apples, pears, and grapes, and avoid spicy and irritating foods such as barbecue, spicy hot pot, onions, ginger, and garlic.
Can prickly heat be treated with calamine?
Lugan Stone Cleanser is mainly used for acute pruritic dermatosis, such as urticaria, eczema, prickly heat, etc. Thus, it can be used for prickly heat. The method of use is topical application; shake well before use, apply an appropriate amount of Lugan Stone Cleanser to the affected area, and it can be applied two to three times a day. However, if there is a burning sensation or swelling at the site of application, discontinue use immediately, clean the area thoroughly, and consult a local physician if necessary. Additionally, to prevent the recurrence of prickly heat, it is important to keep the environment cool and ventilated, avoid outdoor activities under strong sunlight, frequently bathe in warm water and dry the skin properly, and maintain a light diet rich in vegetables and fruits while avoiding spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods.
