Main Manifestations

At the onset, there are sharp pain and flushing of skin girdle-like in the local region associated with slight fever, fatigue and anorexia. Then there appear patches of vesicles in the size of mung bean or soybean which are sanguineous or pustular and lined bandlike. The eruption occurs in most cases, unilaterally in the costal region and sometimes on the face and head. In 2 to 3 weeks, the vesicles will dry up and form crusts and after the decrustation, the vesicles are heated almost, always without scarring. In few cases, the residual pain will extend for period of time.医学全在线www.med126.com
