What is Shingles?

Shingles, or herpes zoster, is a virus that makes a painful rash. It comes from the same virus as chickenpox, the varicella-zoster virus. After having chickenpox, the virus can stay inactive and later cause shingles.

Shingles symptoms include persistent pain, skin sores, and itching. Identifying these signals is vital to ensure prompt treatment and speed up the path to recovery.

Symptoms of shingles include:

Pain or tingling

Sensations often precede the appearance of the rash.

Blisters

Fluid-filled blisters develop along the rash.

Itching

The affected area may be intensely itchy.
