The doctor said I had shingles, is it a precursor to skin cancer?

You think too much, the two are not the same thing at all. Herpes zoster is the cause of low immunity, once you get it, it will be carried for life, you should seek medical attention in time and improve your physical fitness, reduce the probability of **, and **cancer has nothing to do with it. The manifestation of cancer is large hyperplasia and ulcers on the surface, and generally the black moles on the soles of the feet and palms should be removed in the hospital.

The doctor said that you have shingles, is it a precancer? You don't believe it, if you get sick, it's not necessarily, if it's true, you go through the doctor's **, it will be fine for a while, not everything is sick, it's a precursor, don't save this place, suspect that if it's that kind of disgusting disease, if it's not running, it will get better slowly.

Shingles does not cause such adverse consequences of cancer. Therefore, if you don't have shingles, you will get cancer. Shingles doesn't get cancer and doesn't turn into cancer.

However, cancer patients can cause herpes zoster due to low immunity, which is generally more viral, and the rash is easy to spread and spread to the whole body.

Patients who have suffered from herpes zoster are not susceptible to cancer, for patients with low immunity, they are prone to secondary herpes zoster virus infection, or for some tumor patients, due to the decrease of resistance, it may be complicated by herpes zoster, so if the patient's physical condition is relatively poor and has herpes zoster, further examination can be carried out to rule out the possibility of tumor.

There is no scientific basis for this, and don't be hearsay, if there is any problem, you should see a doctor in time, herpes zoster generally has a long course of disease, but you must stick to it.

Yes. Because such a thing is very likely to have some cancer, and there is such an infection, it means that the immunity in the body is not very good.

Introduction: When people's body has weakened immunity and poor resistance, shingles may come to us. Shingles is caused by a viral infection, shingles causes damage to our body, and some people say that shingles is an early warning of cancer.

Is this really the case? Let's take a look.

Herpes zoster is a disease caused by viral infection, chickenpox is a symptom of the herpes zoster virus, if people have been infected with chickenpox, then the herpes zoster virus is likely to lurk in the human body, once our body's immunity is reduced, the herpes zoster virus may take this opportunity to infect the human body, producing obvious symptoms, shingles is usually a series of clusters of blisters, accompanied by itching, pain and other symptoms, and the older you are, The more painful shingles you feel, the more you can feel them. When people have zoster blisters, they must not puncture the blisters, which will cause other ** to be infected by the virus, and the area of herpes will expand. When the herpes zoster virus infection is severe, it may cause a series of complications such as fever and vomiting, which makes the patient feel very painful, so when the body is infected with the herpes zoster virus, we must seek medical attention in time and ** as soon as possible**, the earlier the herpes zoster virus ** The better the effect, and our suffering time from shingles will be much shorter.

The herpes zoster virus is very easy to spread, and when the herpes zoster virus is not timed, it may spread to the whole body, and in severe cases, it may endanger our lives. Some medical studies have found that some older cancer patients have been infected with herpes zoster virus, but this does not prove that shingles must be an early warning of cancer, if people find that they have herpes zoster virus, there is no need to panic excessively, they should seek medical attention in time, cooperate with the doctor's examination, and find out the cause of herpes zoster virus infection.

This symptom needs to be timely**, pay attention to the condition, but also pay attention to the condition of the lesion, pay attention to the factors that cause cancer, and ensure that the blood pressure is in question.

Herpes zoster is certainly not a precursor to cancer, and the main causes of shingles include:

First, the patient's long-term fatigue, such as young people often working night shifts and irregular work and rest, etc., leads to a decrease in resistance, so that chickenpox and herpes zoster viruses begin to multiply and activate, causing the occurrence of herpes zoster. It can also occur in middle-aged and elderly people, and with the increase of age, the physical fitness will deteriorate, which can easily cause the activation of this disease. In addition, if the patient suffers from diabetes, uremia and other diseases, it is also easy to be complicated by herpes zoster.

In addition, some AIDS patients have extremely poor resistance and are prone to secondary fungal and viral infections, including the occurrence of shingles. Of course, there are some cancer patients whose resistance is also extremely poor, and it is easy to complicate this disease, and cancer patients can develop herpes zoster, but the occurrence of herpes zoster is not exclusive to cancer patients. In some common cases, low immunity can also cause the disease.

Although shingles is a common condition in cancer patients, patients with or without shingles have an increased risk of developing cancer compared to other diseases. Although many studies have revealed an association between shingles and the development of cancer, the specific link is not yet known.

A study of 35,871 participants from Taiwan who had just been diagnosed with shingles revealed that individuals with shingles did not have an increased risk of cancer. Researcher Yi-Tsung Lin said that we found that people with shingles did not have an increased risk of cancer compared with the general population. The study also included data on other diseases in patients with shingles, including diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, autoimmune diseases, and heart disease.

This study revealed that screening for recessive cancer after being diagnosed with shingles is not necessary, and that individuals with shingles do not have an increased risk of developing cancer.

When it comes to shingles, maybe not many people have heard of it because the term is a bit technical, but when it comes to snake gall ulcers, Danish peppers, dragons, etc., it is estimated that everyone will not find it strange. The incidence of shingles is not low in the population, it mainly occurs after the age of 50, but there are also many young people who can get the disease, especially if they stay up late, overwork, and drink too much. Herpes zoster is essentially an infectious disease, it is caused by herpes zoster virus infection, this virus also has normal people, it's just that in a normal immune state, they don't have it, if the immunity is low, it is easy to come out, so from the herpes zoster virus infection you can see how a person's immune system is.

Those of you who studied biology in high school have heard about genetic mutations that can lead to cancer if you can't correct them. Of course, it's not that simple for cells to become cancerous, because humans are constantly monitoring every cell. Once the abnormality is detected, humans will immediately activate their powerful immune system, killing the cancer cells.

There are also some things called proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in our bodies, and if proto-oncogenes are activated, humans are also susceptible to cancer. Tumor suppressor genes work to prevent cells from becoming cancerous, and if cells are abnormal, people are susceptible to cancer. An important factor in abnormalities in proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes is infection, including viral and bacterial infections.

Of course, the theory is that infections increase the incidence of cancer, but the percentage increase is not significant, because humans still have strong immunity, which can effectively eliminate these abnormal cells. Are people with shingles prone to cancer? Through the above introduction, we can see that normal immunity plays an important role in the occurrence and progression of cancer.

If a person's immunity becomes poor, his immune system becomes less effective in monitoring cancer cells, and the natural risk of cancer increases.

Yes, indeed. Mainly because this condition is generally caused by a weakened immune system. When immunity is weakened, it can lead to the growth of some cancer cells.

Yes, it will be easy, mainly because people with this disease generally like to overeat. And sometimes you can't even eat, so you may get stomach cancer.

It may be that because cancer is similar to this, cancer can evolve in this way.

Some elderly people will find out that they have cancer soon after they get shingles, they think that it is shingles that causes cancer, in fact, at the same time as their shingles occur, the cancer exists, not because of herpes, but herpes and cancer occur at the same time, more appropriately, shingles is the external manifestation of cancer, and the close relationship between them is more obvious in people over 70 years old.

Herpes zoster is a nerve damage caused by the virus attacking the nerves, so it always grows with the distribution of nerves, the most common is the intercostal nerves, because of the long waist, so it is also called the loincloth. These viruses that cause herpes are originally hidden in the ganglia, because the usual immunity is normal, there is no chance for these viruses to make trouble, once the immunity is reduced, the virus will wait for the opportunity to mess up, and shingles is about to happen, so in young people, shingles is more common after fatigue, such as business trips, travel physical exhaustion, or overtime after staying up late and missing sleep, for them, shingles is not a cancer travel hail warning, but at least it suggests that when shingles occurs, immunity has been reduced to a minimum, It is an early warning of low immunity.

But if you are over 70 years old, even if you have no fatigue experience, a certain Ming has a wonderful herpes zoster, which should be highly vigilant, if necessary, it is best to do a physical examination to avoid that some cancers have already occurred, because herpes zoster appears in the case of low immunity, which is also the basis for the occurrence of cancer, but the symptoms of many cancers are very insidious, even if they have reached the middle stage, they can not be perceived, and the herpes zoster can also be quickly manifested as a result of reduced immunity. Therefore, although it is not the first of cancer, but it occurs on the same basis as cancer, many elderly people, fighters found out that they had cancer when they were **herpes.

Excerpt from the blog of Tong Tong, a Chinese medicine practitioner.

Shingles** can be a precursor to cancer.

Herpes zoster is an acute herpetic ** disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which usually occurs when the immune system is weakened and is a signal of weakened immunity. It is characterized by clusters of blisters along the peripheral nerves on one side of the body, accompanied by significant neuralgia and regional lymphadenopathy, rarely healed**, and patients generally gain lifelong immunity to the virus. It is important to note that usually people only suffer from shingles once in their lifetime, but a small number of people will ** when their resistance is severely reduced.

There are elderly people who go to the doctor for the second time for "shingles" but are diagnosed with cancer.

2.Staying up late: Most shingles are associated with staying up late. In the past, shingles was more common in middle-aged people over 40 years old, but in the past two years, the incidence of shingles has been decreasing, and it is often seen in patients in their 20s.

3.Bad mood: Restlessness, restlessness, poor sleep, low mood and other bad emotions can induce shingles.

5.Diabetes: Foot pain in diabetic patients due to neuropathy and diabetic peripheral vascular disease. Most people think of pain caused by neuropathy at first glance and often ignore that the pain can be caused by shingles.

Shingles is painful and can cause serious complications, so how can you prevent shingles in your daily life?

2.Prevent infection. Infection is one of the causes of this disease.

Elderly patients should prevent the infection of various diseases, especially in autumn, when cold and warm alternate, clothing should be increased or decreased in time to avoid upper respiratory tract eyebrow infection caused by cold. In addition, inflammation of the oral cavity and nasal cavity should be active**. 3.

Prevent trauma. Trauma can easily reduce the body's ability to resist disease, leading to the occurrence of this disease. Therefore, elderly patients should pay attention to avoid trauma.

Avoid exposure to toxic substances. Try to avoid contact with chemicals and toxic drugs to prevent **damage, affect health, and reduce the body's resistance.

4.Improve nutrition. The elderly should pay attention to the nutrition of their diet, eat more protein-rich treasures such as soy products, fish, eggs, lean meat, and fresh fruits and vegetables, so as to strengthen their bodies and prevent various diseases directly or indirectly related to this disease.

Everyone should pay attention to their health in their daily life. If you have any health problems, please go to a regular hospital for examination** immediately, and do not delay your condition. I wish you good health

Is shingles a warning sign of cancer?

Is shingles a precancerous warning? The answer is no. Herpes zoster is a benign disease, although it is painful, but it does not develop into cancer, it is a separate disease that needs to be taken seriously and an effective approach to it, despite the stubbornness of the disease.

No. Shingles can only indicate that you have poor immunity and have been infected recently, but it does not mean that it is cancer. Because staying up late, catching a cold and other factors may cause a decrease in resistance.

No, it may just be that herpes is infected by bacteria, and you have to go to the hospital for examination.
