A shingles is an infection disease that used to appear mostly at the back of person like blisters.
The signs that one will see is that:
A line or patch of painful blisters that appears all of a sudden on one side of the body is probably shingles. It is most common on the back, chest, neck, or face . The blisters usually last 2 or 3 Weeks, then go away by themselves.
Sometime the pain continues or returns long after the blisters are gone .
Causes of Shingles:
Shingles is caused by the virus that causes chickenpox and usually affects persons who have had chickenpox before.
It is not dangerous. ( However, especially in older persons, it is occasionally a warning sign if some other more serious problem perhaps cancer or AIDS.)
Treatment:
- Put light bandages over the rash so that clothes do not rub against it.
- Take aspirin for the pain. (Antibiotics do not help.)
What is your take about this?
