Shingles
Shingles, also known as Herpes Zoster, is a common and contagious skin condition caused by the Varicella Zoster virus (VZV). It typically causes a rash of painful, itchy blisters which can last for several weeks. The rash may also be accompanied by flu-like symptoms such as fever, headache and tiredness. Although anyone can develop shingles, it is more common among people over 50 and those with weakened immune systems. Treatment includes medications to relieve pain, reduce itching and speed healing, as well as antiviral drugs to help reduce the severity and duration of the condition. Vaccines are now available to help reduce the risk of developing shingles and its complications.
