Shingles (infection)

No, usually not. Only the very severe cases of shingles (herpes zoster) require hospitalization.

The vaccine can help you avoid getting shingles again. It is usually recommended for people over 60. So, yes! Once you've had it, you don't want to get it again.

Answer

No, because vaccines give the person a small dose of the specific disorder in order for their body to become immune to it. So your just adding to the disorder.

Shingles is only contagious before the blisters and sores dry. Once they're scabbed over, the virus is not contagious. Remember that shingles can only be spread by direct contact with the lesions. You can't get shingles from someone unless you touch their wet lesions. You won't get it from riding a bus with them, eating with them, or being in the same room with them. Patients with shingles can continue normal activities, including school and work, as long as the lesions are covered.
Children do not get attack of shingles before they get chicken pox. You get attack of shingles only after you have had chicken pox.

It could be anything from an insect bite to eczema (skin reaction to something you are allergic to) to a birth mark. If it has pain associated with it, see a doctor.

Shingles is not contagious -- it can't be "caught" from someone else. People with shingles can give you chickenpox if you haven't had it.

The sun. The heat from the sun bakes your roof and deteriorates the shingles the quickest.

No genital herpes and herpes zooster are slightly different types of herpes. Herpes zooster causes chicken pox and it can cause shingles later in life. If you contracted chicken pox (herpes zooster) when you were younger then you have the virus that causes shingles.

The only other type of herpes that can affect the genitals is oral herpes (what causes cold sores). If you receive oral sex from some one that has cold sores then you could end up with cold sores on your genitals.

The answer can be contradicted. But so many times the parents are spotted to get their child to the baby with chicken pox. So that the child should get the chicken pox in childhood only. In shingles, the same virus is implicated and it is good to have chicken pox in child hood only.

Shingles is a herpetic infection of the skin that usually affects a specific dermatome (nerve root). It is described by some patients as very painful and by others as very itchy - that is because both the pain and itch sensations run in the same nerve root.

Shingles comes from the chicken pox virus (herpes zooster) which is slightly different then oral or genital herpes. If you have had chicken pox before then you can get shingles later in life. But there is a vaccine for it, if you have had chicken pox and you're concerned about shingles then you may want to consider getting it.

Bell's Palsy is caused by a herpes virus, which lay dormant in your system in the root ganglia behind your face - once you have it, it never truly leaves. They come out and cause various conditions during immuno-compromised conditions, which can happen several times throughout your life.

When the virus that causes chickenpox reactivates, it causes shingles. Early symptoms of shingles include headache, sensitivity to light, and flu-like symptoms without a fever. You may then feel itching, tingling, or pain where a band, strip, or small area of rash may appear several days or weeks later. A rash can appear anywhere on the body but will be on only one side of the body, the left or right. The rash will first form blisters, then scab over, and finally clear up over a few weeks. This band of pain and rash is the clearest sign of shingles.

Almost all adult humans carry VZV. VZV usually lies dormant in the ganglia or clusters of sensory neurons that project to different parts of the body. Factors that are not yet fully understood but that certainly involve a decrease in immunity lead to VZV reactivation in some people, causing inflammation of the ganglia.

The ganglia are located near the spinal cord and they have a number of nerves that leave the ganglia. The inflammation of the nerve is what causes the pin and will even have blisters. The sign of the redness and blistering will follow the nerve and will. in many cases. follow along the ribs of the chest. The redness will only be along one side of the chest.

Contrary to popular belief, they do not meet other lines from the other side and cause death.

The virus is transported along the nerves and skin lesions appear, which typically takes five to ten days, the only symptom of shingles is neuralgia (nerve pain). This makes diagnosis difficult.

The neuron can become more sensitive to any stimulus, and spontaneous pain may occur.

Yes, shingles can cause all of these problems and more.

Can clobetasol ointment be used for shingles

Current exposure to chickenpox does not increase the risk of shingles. A past history of chickenpox is the necessary condition for getting shingles. It's not something you catch from someone; it's reactivation of previous chickenpox infection.

The last Shingles outbreak spread all over Europe it was about 15 yrs ago

A person with shingles can pass the virus to anyone who hasn't had chickenpox before. A person who has not had chickenpox can become infected through direct contact with a person who is infected with shingles. After becoming infected, the person will develop chickenpox, but not shingles. The infection can be very serious for people who have a compromised immune system. However, a person with a normal immune system who has already had chickenpox cannot be infected with shingles. If a person has not previously had the chickenpox, it is best to avoid contact with any person who is infected with shingles until the infection has cleared the person completely.

I believe that shingles can cause lower back pain. I've recently been diagnosed with shingles, which was preceeeded by lower back pain, heartburn-like pain, and intermittent stabbing pains throughout my chest area and right leg. Then came the snesitive skin issue. My doctor (internal medicine) said that all of these were related, and diagnosed shingles. Started treatment, and have very little blistering because it was caught early.

Mouth to mouth kissing will not spread genital HPV, unless of course the mouth has already been in contact with an infected genital area! Any direct skin contact with the genital area can spread the virus.

Herpes is a family if viruses that cause different diseases. Herpes simplex I is associated with cold sores, herpes simplex II is associated with genital herpes (although those two can be reversed), CMV and EBV can cause mononucleosis and colds and congenital infections in babies as well as cancers, roseolovirus can cause roseola, human herpes virus 8 causes Kaposi's sarcoma and other cancers.

The herpes varicella-zoster virus causes chicken pox (varicella). It lies dormant in nerve cells and years later it can reactivate to cause shingles (zoster).

So shingles is one example of a herpes virus infection.

Shingles is a human disease that is caused by chicken pox that remains dormant until something like stress brings it out. It is unlikely that a human can pass it to a pet.

In my clinical experience the pain caused by shingles can be treated well with acupuncture. Acupuncture can also be used to shorten the duration of a shingles outbreak, as well as strengthen overall immune system health which helps with the number of shingles outbreak.
