Understanding shingles
Shingles is a painful blistering rash caused by the chickenpox virus waking up again in people who have had chickenpox.
Causes and risk factors
After chickenpox the varicella-zoster virus stays dormant in nerves; older age, stress and a weak immune system make it more likely to flare.
Care and treatment for shingles
Shingles is best treated early, ideally within three days of the rash. In a quick video visit the physician can confirm shingles and prescribe an antiviral and painkillers if appropriate. Options may include antiviral tablets such as aciclovir or valaciclovir, plus painkillers.
- Avoid contact with pregnant women, babies and anyone who has not had chickenpox
- Use simple pain relief as directed on the pack
- Cover blisters with a non-stick dressing
