Symptoms of sacral herpes zoster

summary

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.
