Shingles is a disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus infection. Its most characteristic symptom is the appearance of clustered small blisters distributed along nerve paths on one side of the body, which are quite painful and generally do not cross the midline. This disease has a certain natural course, and it can usually heal within one week to ten days. Some individuals, if in good physical condition and with strong immunity, may recover without medication. However, once identified, it is best to treat with antiviral medications. Delaying treatment may lead to postherpetic neuralgia, which involves severe pain. Therefore, it is crucial to undergo proper treatment once the disease is detected. During treatment, patients should rest more, drink plenty of water, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
