Home Remedies For Shingles
from:Shingles is commonly seen in elderly people, but on occasion it
is detected among young people too. It comes from the same virus
varicella-zoster, which gave us chicken-pox. If proper care is
not taken you may loose your eyesight or even suffer from facial
paralysis. Shingles are also known as herpes zoster which
spreads through your skin in the form of a rash or blister
similar to chicken-pox. It is associated with grueling pain,
itchiness, burning sensation and sometimes even numbness.
Before the rash appears you develop pain and tenderness on a
particular area of your body. It may sometime take more than a
week before the rash appears. You develop red spots before it
erupts into blisters. Shingles develops on one side of your body
(left or right) due to a particular nerve which causes this
development. It also affects other parts of your body like heads
and limbs. When it affects your cheek it would surely affect
your eyes, be extra careful during such times and consult your
doctor immediately.
Once the blisters burst open they get healed within a week.
Light scars are left which will disappear soon. Shingles may not
be a deadly disease but it may prove to be dangerous for people
suffering from HIV infection or getting cancer treatments, as
the immune system is very weak. People who are getting organ
transplants are also under threat as doctors suppress the immune
system with drugs.
