What is the disease also known as snake-piercing skin in the countryside?

In life, each of us plays a double role. For example, you may be both a son and a father; you may be both an actor and an audience; you may serve others and be served by others; you may be a doctor when you wear a white coat in the hospital, and you may be a patient when you are sick; you may pick up your mobile phone and open the WeDoctor version and you may be Doctor, open the patient version and you are a patient; for all this, to use a popular saying, "everyone is for me, and I am for everyone."

This article shares with you my treatment process for shingles, and also talks about my dual role of doctor and patient. (Pictures of herpes may cause discomfort, so I won’t post them)

On Monday, June 25, 2018, I began to experience bursts of discomfort and tingling pain in my right chest, which gradually spread to the right side, armpit, and back. I didn't pay much attention to it. With the little knowledge I had given to my dermatology teacher a long time ago, the term herpes zoster also flashed in my mind! I feel strange discomfort when I touch my skin with my hands, and I think of pleurisy, etc. (It seems that the more knowledge you have, the more reactionary you will be). I decided to ignore it and see how it tolerates me! Continue to work and live normally. It's really no big deal.

Another day passed, on Wednesday night, June 27th, I went to the swimming pool to swim as usual. When I was standing in front of the mirror admiring my underdeveloped chest muscles, I suddenly discovered an abnormal red spot the size of a one-yuan coin on the surface of my right chest muscle! The source is unknown! Because I didn’t enjoy the back rub service (25 yuan per session), it’s even less likely that I would have hurt myself so badly! Can the back be seen? At this point I’m still not sure what’s going on! I didn’t learn my lessons well back then! Regret endlessly!

On the morning of Thursday, June 28th, my wife noticed red spots on my back and was highly alert, reminding me to pay attention! See a doctor! Of course she couldn't tell what the disease was, but she could tell it was abnormal. While eating in the cafeteria at noon, I casually asked a colleague if he had any experience with herpes zoster. After the meal, I went to the department to ask my colleagues to take a look at me. Almost all of them were nurses. Based on the previous symptoms and experience, they all agreed that it was herpes zoster!

In this way, I started to slowly look at the medical history, and finally chose this clinic - Director Kong Xuejuan's clinic
