Hallo Ricksj
Gordelroos is 'n virus infeksie ( Herpes Zoster) - die kiem is dieselfde een wat waterpokkies in kinders gee. Die virus lê dormant in 'n senuwee wortel en as die gestel af is slaan dit dan uit op die vel. As mens dit vinnig begin behandel met antivirusmiddels ( binne 24 tot 48 uur) verminder dit die uitslag en pyn baie. Herpes Zoster is baie pynlik en kan nogal lank vat om gesond te word - tot 2 weke.
