ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the healing degree of lesions of herpes zoster in the head and face and the risk factor of the discosmetic sequelae.Methods 92 case of herpes zoster in the head and face were enrolled in this study.The patients were treated in dermatological clinic of Changshu No.1 People's Hospital from Jan.2017 to Jun.2018.The clinical data were recorded,such as the time of control,improving and healing of lesion,sex,age,position,the time of therapy starting and the behavior of scratching,extrusion and divest crust.The blood glucose and serum albumin of patients were measured.We observed the remained scars and performed statistic analysis.Results In diabetes group,the control and healing time was (2.40±1.28) d and (10.38+2.47) d respectively,meanwhile the control and healing time was (1.72 ± 0.94) d and (8.32 ± 2.66) d respectively in non-diabetes group (P＜0.05).The single factor analysis indicated that the age,position,diabetes,lesion extrusion,divest crust were the correlation factors of the zoster scar in head and face (P＜0.05).Nevertheless the multifactor logistic regression indicated that the position,diabetes and divest crust were independent risk factors of the zoster scar in head and face (P＜0.05).Conclusions The healing of herpes zoster is affected by diabetes.The independent risk factors of zoster scar in head and face are non-trigeminal nerves positions,diabetes and divest crust.
