What happens if a child has transparent blisters on his body?

Blisters are a symptom of a viral infection. If blisters appear on the body, you must deal with them in a timely manner, pay attention to the cause of the outbreak, and find the best treatment method. Blister problems are more common in children because children’s resistance is very low and they are easily threatened by various viruses. Let’s take a look at what happens when transparent blisters grow on children? I hope everyone can understand it.

1. Shingles

It is an acute infectious skin disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Children who are not immune to the virus develop chickenpox when infected. Some patients become carriers of the virus after being infected but do not develop symptoms. Because the virus is neurotropic, it can remain dormant in the neurons of the dorsal root ganglia of the spinal cord for a long time after infection. When the resistance is low or when you are tired, infected, or have a cold, the virus can grow and multiply again and move along the nerve fibers to the skin, causing severe inflammation of the invaded nerves and skin.

2. Varicella-zoster uveitis

It can be congenital or acquired, and the acute retinal necrosis syndrome it causes has become an important blinding eye disease. The diagnosis is confirmed by isolating and culturing the varicella-zoster virus from infected tissue. Slit lamp examination can reveal anterior uveal lesions; fundus fluorescein angiography can reveal retinal vasculitis and the corresponding characteristic changes of retinal neovascularization and optic discitis.

3. Herpes zoster eyelid

Typical lesions are clustered vesicular rashes in the skin distribution areas of the branches of the first trigeminal nerve (frontal nerve, lacrimal nerve and nasociliary nerve) or the third main branch (relatively rare). However, it does not cross the central boundary between the eyelid and the nose, but is limited to one side. It is more common in middle-aged and elderly patients. Recurrence is rare after cure.

4. Herpes zoster oticus

Hunter syndrome is a disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus. A group of special symptoms caused by herpes virus infection of the geniculate ganglion of the facial nerve, mainly manifested as severe pain in one ear, ear herpes, ipsilateral peripheral facial paralysis, accompanied by hearing and balance disorders, so it is also called geniculate ganglion syndrome.
