When it comes to the pain of “snake birth”, many people are frightened by it. An artist in Singapore mistakenly thought that he had sensitive skin, but was diagnosed with herpes zoster (commonly known as “raw snake”). He said that the pain felt like being burned. Later, he found that he could not move the right side of his face, could not blink or smile, and could not speak clearly. He called on people to seek medical treatment immediately if they notice symptoms, otherwise there will be irreversible consequences.

Singaporean artist Shen Weijun revealed on Instagram last week that he was suffering from shingles. In an interview with the media, he said that as early as July when he was filming a promotional video for the Singapore Tourism Board, he had a cough and cold, red and swollen eyes, sensitive skin all over his body, and rashes. My rash was also a little different, accompanied by unusual pain, so I went to see a doctor the next morning.
“The doctor said it might be a serious skin disease and asked me to go to the hospital quickly. I didn’t know the seriousness of (the condition). I went to see another Chinese medicine doctor that day, and he said I might have a snake bite.” I have been ill for more than a month. , who is still recovering, said, “My herpes was very dense. It was originally on my neck, but then it spread quickly to my face, ears and part of my scalp.”
At the same time, he was worried about spreading to his eyes and other parts of his body. He described the pain as bursts of fire, burning nerves. “A friend who has suffered from herpes told me that giving birth to a snake is more painful than giving birth to a child.” He said, “Doctors say that the chance of getting the disease is higher after the age of 50. But I know someone who got shingles in their 20s, and a lot of people don’t know the seriousness of herpes.”
One day, after he suffered from herpes zoster for more than a month, water flowed out of his mouth when he was drinking water. He thought something was wrong. When he looked in the mirror, he found that his right eye was dull and he tried to smile. I can’t even laugh. When he went to the clinic for medical treatment, the doctor advised him to go to the hospital immediately. “I went to the hospital within 24 hours after I discovered that the right side of my face was paralyzed and stayed for five days.”
He recalled that when he was admitted, he could not blink his right eye or smile, and his speech was unclear. The neurologist pointed out that as long as herpes occurs on the face, it may affect the brain or facial nerves, leading to facial paralysis. “The doctor said that recovery may take one month to three months, or even half a year, and some patients will not recover. However, I am still young, and I went to the hospital and took medicine within 24 hours, so the chance of recovery is relatively high.”
He admitted that the spread of herpes to his face and half of his scalp made him feel depressed. Now he still has to force his eyes to blink. He puts tape on his right eyelid when sleeping to prevent his right eye from opening while sleeping. “If you open your eyes while sleeping, you may get hurt.” Bacterial infection, I don’t want to cause trouble.”
In addition to Western medicine treatment, he now also receives Chinese medicine and acupuncture treatment. He added that he knew there was a risk of recurrence after recovering from shingles, so he would receive vaccinations after recovery to prevent reinfection.
3 major symptoms of snake life
According to the Hong Kong Department of Health, shingles is caused by the varicella zoster virus that causes chickenpox. It is a painful, band-like red rash with blisters. The virus can remain dormant in the nervous system of a person who has recovered from chickenpox.
If you notice any skin abnormalities, seek medical attention immediately. Symptoms include:
1. Itching or slight pain appears, with a burning sensation 2. Red rash appears 3. The rash turns into blisters, and then spreads into strips
Family doctor Li Keren once said in an interview with TOPick that when a person’s immunity weakens, the virus buried in the nerves will escape. “Stress and lack of sleep may trigger snakebites. Symptoms may not be obvious at first. They may be just a slight fever, numbness, or burning and stinging pain. After 4 to 7 days, a rash may appear, and then small rashes may appear. Blisters are formed along a nerve line. Usually, after one week, the blisters will dry up and become scarred.” Dr. Lai said.
How to grasp the golden 72 hours of snake life?
Dr. Lai said that there is actually a special medicine for raw snakes. She said: “The doctor made a clinical diagnosis and there is a so-called golden diagnosis and treatment for raw snakes for 72 hours, which is when the rash appears. During this period, you can take this special medicine orally for one week, and it will be cured.” It can reduce the chance of recurrence, and secondly, it can reduce the pain after birth. But after the golden period, according to research, there is little difference between eating and not eating.”
