George asks…

What’s the treatment for shingles?

admin answers:

Shingles is caused by a virus similar to the one that causes chicken pox. It causes a rash which can be quite painful and some flu like symptoms.The rash results in blisters, which will become scabs in about 5 days and follow nerve pathways, commonly from the spine to abdomen. Sometimes there are lasting scars after.There are pills to take and a cream to apply to the rash (Zovirax or Acyclovir) and usually codeine is ordered if the pain is not relieved by Tylenol.It is best to see a MD for treatment of any rash that persists. Good luck.

Richard asks…

can a person have shingles without a rash and is there treatment after a year?

admin answers:

It is very very rare to have shingles without a rash. Doctors really need to see the very typical rash to make the diagnosis with confidence. The only treatment for shingles can be used when the rash appears and it is used only in the first few days. It is only moderately helpful. There is a new vaccination to help prevent shingles. I think you do not have shingles but rather a mono-neuritis or nerve impingement. All these things tend to get better with time. Avoid un-necessary medications. Ask your doctor about an EMG test. Good Luck!

Carol asks…

what is the best treatment for moss on shingles?

admin answers:

For starters cut all overhanging branches away from the roof and clean with bleach water. After that you can install a zinc strip along the ridge of your roof, when the rainwater hits it minerals will run down the roof and keep it clean.
