A long time ago frequented hearing the young and adults that so many wounded belt fire some know the meaning and many do not know. Here I would like to explain what it means to have a fire belt: it is one of the skin diseases that affects adults and children, more common in the elderly. Which is characterized by pain so severe that his name was derived from the severity of his pain, as if someone put a belt of fire on his waist. He was named after a monk who was afflicted with the disease (Fire St. Antonio).
The most common is the nerve that wraps around the rib cage, either right or left, or other areas, such as the facial nerve, eye, hands, legs, or both.
A rash appears in the form of separate or interconnected vesicles forming bubbles of varying sizes between small and large, such as fire bubbles along the nerve path with redness.
This rash is preceded by severe pain, especially in the elderly. It is painless in young people and usually occurs when the body’s resistance is weakened. For some reason, this virus, which is usually present in the body since childhood, is affected by smallpox. Nerves. Often the doctor is confused to know the diagnosis of the situation before the appearance of symptoms on the skin thought it inflammation of the gallbladder? Or joint pain? Or angina? Or diphtheria? And the emergence of skin rash makes sure the diagnosis of the case (belt fire).
Sometimes the pain continues in the elderly for several months after the infection, especially for those who did not take the appropriate treatment and the appropriate dose at the right time and make sure here the need to adhere to the appropriate dose at the time is often reviewed by infected people were correct and gave the correct treatment but the dose Required for this condition is not appropriate and often less than the required dose because giving in a timely manner relieves the patient much of the pain of the disease after infection and rash.
Treatment is available but should be taken as soon as possible, especially in the first three days of the rash.
In adults, it is recommended to perform general laboratory tests to exclude immune disorders that inhibit the body.
