Is there any good prescription for skin diseases commonly known as "flying snakes" in southern Fujian? Thank you for your questions.

Minnan, commonly known as "flying snake", is actually what we call herpes zoster in medicine. Herpes zoster is an acute herpetic dermatosis. Because it is common between waist and hypochondrium, it spreads in a band, so it is called "waist-wrapped dragon". There are many names in Chinese medicine, such as "waist-wrapped fire pill", "snake pill" and "snake string sore", all of which refer to this disease. . The treatment is mainly antiviral. The principle is to relieve pain and diminish inflammation. Protect the local area, prevent infection and relieve pain. Cestigmine, VitE300 mg/ day antiviral, acyclovir, 0.2/ time, 3/ day topical: 1-2% gentian ultraviolet coating. The prognosis is self-limited, and pigmentation can be left after healing, generally leaving no scars. Will leave neuralgia. Precautions for herpes zoster 1. Don't be too nervous. Some patients may have blisters, blood blisters and even erosion, but please don't be nervous. If treated properly, it can be cured in about 10 days, and it will not recur after treatment. 2. Take more rest, give a digestible diet and drink plenty of water. 3. Prevent secondary bacterial infection. Don't rub the affected area, lest the blister burst. Chinese herbal medicine or Refnuel can be applied externally with wet compress to promote blisters to dry and scab. 4. Elderly patients with serious diseases, especially herpes zoster on the head and face, should be hospitalized to prevent complications. 5. Suffering from "herpes zoster" indicates that the patient's body immunity is in a low state, and corresponding measures should be taken in time. 6. Some patients still have neuralgia after the skin lesions disappear completely. At this time, acupuncture and physical therapy can be used to relieve pain.
