All About Shingles (Herpes Zoster):
- Facts: Shingles, also known as Herpes zoster, is a blistery skin rash that typically manifests as stripes or splotches on one side of the face or body. It occurs when the Varicella-Zoster virus, which causes chickenpox, reactivates years or decades later.
- Prevalence: Shingles is most common in people over 50, particularly among those with compromised immune systems. Early symptoms include headaches, fevers, itching, and the rash itself.
- Treatment: While Shingles normally resolves within 2 – 4 weeks, antiviral treatments are available to mitigate its impact and reduce recovery time. A zoster vaccine is also available to prevent both chickenpox and Shingles outbreaks.
