The word Herpes means “creeping” in Greek and Latin.
When
infected with it , painful water filled boils occur on the skin .
Herpes
Zoster or what is commonly called “sarpa hunnu“ in Kannada, is a infection
which people fear due to misconceptions about it
When
Herpes Zoster occurs, the pain is usually quite severe. As a result, those
affected by it visit cardiologists thinking its a heart-related condition if the
skin around the chest area is involved.
It is
also wrongly thought of as kidney stones’ pain if it occurs near the side of
the stomach region.
It’s best
to get the correct diagnosis and start treatment as its contagious. If someone
around a zoster patients has never had chicken pox it can get transmitted as chicken pox.
Incidentally,
Herpes Zoster and chicken pox are both caused by the same virus - Varicella.
Among
patients, those who are diabetic need special care as healing takes time.
In the
elderly and diabetic patients, a condition known as post-herpetic neuralgia
happens and this has to be treated as it gives rise to painful condition even
after Herpes heals.
This is a
treatable disease and with timely medications, in a week to 10 days, patients
begin to feel a lot more comfortable.
