Shingles (infection)

The visible symptoms of shingles usually lasts about 2 weeks.

The full period including when general illness or skin soreness are

the only symptoms usually lasts about a month. However, some

patients may develop Post-Herpetic Neuralgia which is the most

serious complication of shingles. Post-Herpetic Neuralgia can last

for months or years and can be very painful.

Rashes are almost entirely caused by an allergic reaction; probably something in your medication or your skincare ingredients. Pumpkin seed extract minimizes almost all inflammation to the skin. It minimizes the conversion of histimine to histidine,phospholipids,archidonic acid, prostaglandins and leucotriens in the cell membranes which cause inflammation. I'm a scientist and the only product that has helped my rash actually go away is a product by Hylunia called "Healing and Restoring Creme". It's only sold to licensed spas. Unfortunately, they don't sell their product on-line, so it's difficult to get. Call your nearest Spa to see if they carry Hylunia products...you may get lucky. I've tried various prescribed medications from several doctors over the past 2 years. This is the only product that has worked for me. Good luck

You will be given a script for Endep and/or Lyrica. Endep is an anti depressant and Lyrica (very expensive) is used for people with epilepsy. Sounds strange, but both of these medications target nerve endings which is where the pain from shingles comes. Be warned, both of these medications make you feel very tired.

Dermatology, (the section of medicine that deals with skin problems) is so complicated that it would be impossible to give a particular reason for a rash over the internet. There are so many types of "splotchy red rashes" that there is no way for anyone to determine the cause without someone actually *looking at* the rash. Having said that, there are a few *basic* sources of rashes that will be listed here, but you *must* see a doctor for a true reason! Possible causes: Exposure to something you're allergic to like: A medication you're taking A plant or animal you're allergic to Eating something you're allergic to Also, there are a few disease processes that cause rashes such as: Measles of any type "Fifth" disease and so on.

According to this web-site I found, it does help with ringworms. Since ringworms is a fungal infection and Nystatin ointment is an anti fungal, it figures it would but this site says YES!

Once you have had chicken pox you are immune from this virus for life however you may catch a variation of your particular chicken pox virus but I am unsure how common that occurance would be, you would have to be very unlucky. You may develop shingles later in life depending on your age, health etc, If you are sick and rundown you are more likely to develop shingles. A painful blistering spread along the nerve endings (for example on you lower back). If those blisters open up and another person comes into contact with them it is possible to infect that person with Chicken Pox as it is still the one and same virus.

The answer of course is, "it depends". Usually the fatigue will reduce and then disappear as the breakout does, much like it does with that other viral infection you have already experienced, the flu. In a minority of cases however, the fatigue may last for weeks or even months.

Shingles virus is commonly known as chichken pox virus.

When chicken pox virus stays latent in the body(in the nervous system) and becomes reactivated after few years, it is referred to as shingles. Shingles occurring in adults has more complications than chicken pox.

To make shingle for a model house you could crunch some shells and apply using adhesive.

Can you take the shingles shot while having shingles

Yes, in a way. It is caused by the virus which causes Chicken Pox, and someone susceptible to Chicken Pox can get that from someone with Shingles. But if you've already had Chicken Pox, you won't catch Shingles. It's an opportunistic virus hiding out in your nervous system just waiting for your immune system to give it a chance. And if you've had the Chicken Pox vaccine, you should not be susceptible to either one.

In theory, you could go back to work as soon as you feel well enough. I felt reasonably ok after about 4 days, despite having a red rash over my face & glandular swelling. However, this will vary from person to person. Some people will have more pain than others & may not feel well for several weeks. It's worth noting, however, that until your blisters have stopped weeping, you will be contagious & may give your colleagues chicken pox, if they have not previously had the disease.

Yes, you can exercise when you have chickenpox if you have no fever and feel OK. You should stay isolated until all bumps and sores are scabbed over, so that you don't spread the infection to anyone else. You should also avoid getting overheated, as it may increase itching.

Shingles arises from stress, either from lack of proper, restful sleep or depression and trauma in one's life. These traumatic occurences can bring the body's immune defenses down and if one was exposed to 'Chicken Pox' as a child, it comes back due to the above occurrences as 'Shingles.' It is also called Herpes Zoster, and it can occur over again if the above conditions which bring the immune defenses down are not corrected. The virus has remained dormant in the nerves being rekindled again, and usually starts out as a very bad back ache about a week prior to a bright red rash formation, which usually occurs on the backside, buttocks and could spread along the nerve endings all the way down to the legs. It sometimes can occur near the eye and could be serious if the lesions form there. Medical attention is required as soon as possible and drugs such as Acyclovir are given to shorten the duration of the occurence, which if untreated with these drugs, could last for a few weeks. I'm sorry to say, that it is quite painful and you will have severe pain during, and lingering pain some time after the lesions disappear. I had them 3 times in my lifetime, so I know what you may be experiencing, but now my life is less stressful and it has been years since they have occured. Try to eliminate the stress in your life, get proper sleep and take Lysine supplements. This helps to prevent an occurence. Stay away from foods that are rich in Arginine such as nuts and chocolate, because Arginine 'feeds' the Herpes Zoster virus. There is plenty of info about Herpes Zoster online. Just use your favorite search engine. Good luck to you. Take Care Aspirin or Tylenol may help relieve some of the pain but your doctor may prescribe a more potent pain killer until the Shingles subside. Incidentally, there is now a Shingles vaccine just recently approved by the FDA, but I believe it only will work for people who had chicken pox and have NOT had Shingles yet, and want to PREVENT it from occurring. Talk to your doctor about it. Again, good luck!

I guess, you should visit dermatologists about that, but for the meanwhile, you can help yourself with your skin by using lotions or such with Phytessence Wakame, Cynergy TK and CoQ10 can help to rebuild collagen, in fact they can stimulate keep it natural. That will help your skin condition make it better. http://www.goodhealthyskin.com/

Shingles, a painful rash caused by the same agent that causes chicken pox, varicella zoster virus (VZV), commonly occurs in people over 50 who have not previously had chicken pox. If you had a vaccine for shingles (Herpes Zoster) accidentally, or after a possible but undiagnosed case of shingles, there should be little risk of problems, since all the vaccine does is promote production of antibodies, which that person would already have from having had shingles (or chicken pox). If in doubt, call your doctor.

Yes it is possible to get shingles on various parts of the body. This is due to the chicken pox virus (varicella virus) lying dormant along those particular nerve endings waiting for you to become run down, unwell or low and then they go to work and give you an outbreak of shingles. Make sure you get some treatment to speed up the healing process and make it more comfortable for you whilst you're suffering.

When a person gets chickenpox, the rash will go away but the virus is still in the body and becomes dormant. If the virus becomes active again in the nerves, it is then called herpes zoster or shingles. This usually occurs when a person becomes older, but only in a small percentage of the population. Herpes simplex causes the cold sores or genital herpes.

Hello there fellow user!

Firstly, pertussis or whooping cough is caused by a bacterium called Bordetella pertussis, not a virus. It is a highly contagious cough and a pretty bad one too.

Secondly, the vaccine against this disease is given in a combination with Diptheria and tetanus called the DPT vaccine. It includes toxoid proteins of Diptheria and tetanus bacteria, and either pertussis antigen proteins or the whole killed bacteria responsible for pertussis in combination.

Hope this helped you plenty! 😄

In Australia it costs AUD$60.70

Chlamydia is an STD. it's only transmitted from an infected partner, not a needle getting tattooed.

Yes. The virus hides in the nerve cells near the spine and when activated, travel down the nerves to the skin. The act of moving causes an irritation and burning sensation along the nerve tract.
