A week or two after the blisters erupt, the oozing sores will begin to crust over. The sores are usually gone after another two weeks. The pain usually decreases over the next few weeks, but some patients may have pain for months - sometimes, for years.

How long does it take to get shingles once you have been around someone wo has them?

From what I read on medicine net shingles can't be transmitted if you already had chicken pox and if you do get it then you will get chicken pox.


Your husband has had shingles before and was diagnosised with it again today he works and lives with a lot of men when on the job how long should he avoid working and living with these people?

He only has a small chance of infecting the 10 percent of the population that has NOT had chickenpox, (the varicella-zoster virus causes chickenpox and shingles). The first time you are infected with the virus it presents as chickenpox, the subsequent outbreaks present as shingles. Anyone who has had chickenpox in the past already has the virus, and it may emerge at some point during their lifetime as shingles. So if any of these guys haven't had chickenpox they better stay away. Otherwise, they have nothing to worry about, as being around someone else with an outbreak does not trigger one of their own. Also, it's unlikely it would be spread without direct contact with the rash even if someone does not have the virus, but I would be careful about it. I guess the ultimate answer you're looking for is the following; A person is contagious from when the blisters form until they scab over. Generally, blisters will scab over within 7-10 days. However in some cases it could take much longer.
