How is herpes caused

First: herpes zoster is an acute infectious skin disease caused by varicella zoster virus. Chickenpox occurs in children who are not immune to the virus. Some patients become infected with the virus without symptoms. Because the virus is neurophilic, it can lurk in the neurons of the dorsal root ganglion of the spinal cord for a long time after infection. When the resistance is low, or when the virus is tired, infected or cold, it can grow and reproduce again, and move to the skin along the nerve fibers, causing strong inflammation of the invaded nerve and skin.

Second: herpes simplex is caused by herpes simplex virus, which mostly invades the skin and mucous membrane junction. The skin rash is limited to local clusters of small blisters. The long-term latent and repeated occurrence of the virus is its clinical characteristics. Human being is the natural host of herpes simplex virus; oral cavity, skin, eyes, perineum and nervous system are vulnerable sites.

Third: the virus enters the body through respiratory tract or contact infection by droplets. After two times of viremia, a large number of viruses replicate and spread to the whole body, especially skin and mucosal tissues. After about 2-3 weeks incubation period, papules, watery blisters and purulent blisters appeared widely on the skin of the whole body. The distribution of the rashes was centripetal, and the trunk was more, which could develop into herpes.
