The pain of acute herpes zoster (shingles) is severe and difficult to control. The medications used to control pain have a variety of important and potentially serious side effects. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first case report of using a plain topical occlusive dressing to reduce the pain of herpes zoster, avoiding the use of medication.
A 40-year-old Caucasian man and a qualified physician (the author), developed a dermatomal vesicular rash consistent with herpes zoster. Applying plain topical occlusive dressings reduced the severity of his pain to an ignorable level.
Plain topical occlusive dressings provide effective pain relief for acute herpes zoster, thereby avoiding the risks accompanying medication use.
急性带状疱疹（缠腰龙）的疼痛剧烈且难以控制。用于控制疼痛的药物有多种重要且可能严重的副作用。据我所知，这是首例使用普通外用封闭敷料减轻带状疱疹疼痛且避免使用药物的病例报告。
一名40岁的白人男性，也是一名合格的医生（作者本人），出现了符合带状疱疹的皮节水疱疹。使用普通外用封闭敷料后，他的疼痛严重程度减轻到了可忽略不计的水平。
普通外用封闭敷料能有效缓解急性带状疱疹的疼痛，从而避免了用药带来的风险。
