can u recommend ointment or medicine for scar? I got herpes zoster before, what best medicine for it? Since then my eyes are still red. Please give me medicine for it.
admin answers:
I can tell you that topical L-Lysine, Lemon Balm Extract, and good ol’ peroxide are best for herpes zoster. Assuming the outbreak is oral, I’d recommend staying away from Abreva, which can worsen the outbreak. Also, keeping you immune system in check will lessen the chances of an outbreak.

admin answers:
Shingles is latent chicken pox virus that has been dormant in the nerve endings until it was activated because of another infection of some kind. Your father may have some other health issue that is not yet diagnosed. Do not touch the shingles or the fluid that they produce either on clothing or on you father. Shingles are extremely painful and even after they heal can continue to hurt. So try not to annoy him or surprise him anything that may aggravate him will cause them to hurt intensely. If both of you have a chicken pox vaccine you will be ok. You may be able to get a shingles vaccine but I think your brother is too young to have it.

How do I wash my hair if I have shingles (herpes zoster) extending deep into my hairline?
I’ve just been diagnosed with shingles on my face, at the hairline and up onto my scalp. The pain is moderate right now, but I know it will worsen soon. Can I wash my hair? How and with what? What about after the vesicles start to break? I’ve searched on-line and can’t find anything about this, oddly enough.
admin answers:
As far as I know, you can shampoo with a gentle cleanser, such as baby shampoo, during the entire outbreak. Make sure the lather doesn’t get into your eyes as it may carry the virus. The affected areas of skin should be kept clean.
You can always contact the provider who diagnosed you for more information. Oddly enough, many people don’t do that.
