What is Shingles?
Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus. After experiencing chickenpox or exposure to the varicella-zoster virus, the virus stays dormant in the body for life. The immune system naturally weakens with age, which may allow the usually inactive virus to reactivate, causing Shingles.
How does Shingles feel?
Shingles pain feels like electric shocks or piercing nails or burns caused by boiling water, itching, tingling, and numbness localized to the affected areas 48-72 hours before the rash appears.
