The itching sensation forces the patient to scratch the affected area with his hands, causing the blisters to burst and the venom to flow out. What's more terrifying is that the white liquid that flows out contains a large amount of herpes simplex virus. The virus breaks the skin nearby and invades the body, causing large-scale infection. If not treated in time, the scope will become larger and larger. The broken skin forms large areas of erosion and ulcers, and the patient feels pain, and finally scabs and heals.
