Shingles rash affecting a man's facial nerve
Shingles rash affecting facial nerves in a 59 year old male patient. Inflammation and swelling can be observed around the patient's eyes. Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a result of infection by the same virus that causes chickenpox, the varicella-zoster virus. This virus can remain dormant in the nerve tracts that emerge from the spine. When this virus reactivates and causes shingles in the V1 distribution (along the ophthalmic sensory nerve), it usually appears as a painful rash affecting the forehead, scalp, and upper eyelid on one side of the face. Treatment for herpes zoster in the V1 distribution typically involves antiviral medication, painkillers, and anti-inflammatories. For another image of this patient at this stage see SPL code C059/5635. For images of this patient 3 days later see SPL codes C059/5636 and C059/5637. For images of this patient 7 days later see SPL codes C059/5638 and C059/5639.
