what are the symptoms, treatment, and duration of shingles?


what are the symptoms, treatment, and duration of shingles?hii! my uncle has shingles and i was curious to know what the symptoms & how it could be treated. Also, how long does it take for shingles to go away?

Answer by DOH !
An extremely painful rash around the trunk of the body, can last for weeks and recur for months. Very herpes-like in appearance and pain.

Treated with antiviral drugs. May or may not occur again.

Seriousness and duration are wholly dependent on each individuals resistance to the disease.

There is a vaccination for this disorder for people who had chicken pox as a child. Only a fool would not get this shot. Ask someone who has had the shingles about their opinion on getting a preventative vaccine if they had known then what they know now.

Add your own answer in the comments! Information about multiple myeloma and other plasma cell neoplasms.
