Post herpic neuralgia

I developed Herpes around back and chest one year and was cured after one week by antiviral medicine. I continue to get the affected area in the skin and in the nerves even by touch of cloth.

Hi there I understand your concern...Some patients with postherpetic neuralgia appear to have abnormal function of unmyelinated nociceptors and sensory loss....Pain and temperature detection systems are hypersensitive to light mechanical stimulation, leading to severe pain....it will be there for few months even after resolution of lesions... I would suggest you to consult nearest dermatologist they will do the needful.
