📸 Before & After: Herpes Zoster (Shingles)
From burning, painful blisters to dry, healing skin. ✨
Early consultation + prompt antiviral treatment can dramatically improve the course of shingles.
Shingles is caused by Varicella zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. It can reactivate later in life, especially with aging, stress, or a weakened immune system.
One of the most feared complications is postherpetic neuralgia (PHN) which is a lingering nerve pain that can persist weeks to months after the rash clears.
💉 The good news? There is a vaccine that helps prevent shingles and significantly reduces the risk of PHN.
✔️ Recommended for adults 50 years and older
✔️ Adults 19 years and older with weakened immune systems
✔️ Given as a 2-dose series (2–6 months apart)
Even if you’ve had shingles before, vaccination can still help prevent future episodes.
