Herpes zoster is what people call it. "Snakes", "Waist-wrapped Dragon", "Waist-turning Dragon" Infected by the varicella-zoster virus Most common in middle-aged and elderly people aged 50 and above Clustered blisters When the rash occurs, the affected skin first appears as a flushed spot, followed by clusters of papules that do not fuse, which then quickly turn into blisters with a red halo around them. The lesions are often distributed along a peripheral nerve area, usually on one side of the body, not exceeding the midline. The blisters will then dry up, form scabs and fall off, and there may be residual pigmentation. The lesions usually last for 2-3 weeks, and about 3-4 weeks in the elderly.
