What You Need To Know About Shingles
Shingles are caused by a variant of the same virus that causes chicken pox. If you have had chicken pox, you are at risk of developing shingles. Shingles can appear on several areas of your body, including on one side of your body, wrapping around your spine, and extending to your chest. Shingles can also develop on your neck, nose, and forehead. Shingles appear as small blisters which break open and later form a crust as they heal.
Prevention of shingles is critical because once you have shingles, it can keep you from working, going to school, and enjoying other activities important in your life. One of the most important steps you can take to prevent shingles is to get the shingles vaccine. The shingles vaccine is one of the safest, most reliable, and most effective ways to prevent shingles.
If you think you might be developing shingles, don’t wait. See your dermatologist immediately. Your dermatologist has solutions to keep shingles from becoming more severe. Your dermatologist may recommend antiviral medication and other treatments to aid in healing and increase your comfort while you heal from shingles.
