    Treating Herpes zoster ownway

    My closely related person has acquired Herpes last week, so i start learning about Herpes zoster. Here are some very essential points that i have gathered for the patients of Shingles.You can't prevent yourself from contracting shingles. This is because it is not contracted from someone with shingles or chickenpox infection as you get shingles from your own chickenpox virus. BUT, If you have shingles, you could transmit the virus, and people could develop chickenpox as a result of contact with you. Hence it is essential for you to remain away from others for about 7-9 days until the blisters have dried, because till then, the virus is present in the blister fluid. Isolate patient with active skin lesions to prevent him from infecting others.Let him remain away from those people who have a poor immune system, pregnant women or those who are immunocompromised as they are at a higher risk to develop the disease.Local dressing with water at room temperature, for ½ an hour-1 hour, at least

    Home Remedy for Shingles(Herpes Zoster)
    2008-06-19 16:11:14
    Shingles, also called herpes zoster, gets its name from both the Latin and French words for belt or girdle and refers to girdle-like skin eruptions that may occur on the trunk of the body. This is very interesting that the virus that causes chickenpox, the varicella zoster virus (VSV), is mainly responsible for this painful condition. The virus actually become dormant in nerve cells after an episode of chickenpox and later reemerge as shingles. Initially, red patches of rash develop into blisters. As the virus travels along the nerve to the skin, it can damage the nerve and cause it to become inflamed. This condition can be very painful. If the pain persists long after the rash disappears, it is known as post-herpetic neuralgia.First infection, at whatever age it occurs, is called primary infection. It is important to note that Primary infection does not cause shingles; shingles arises from reactivation of virus introduced to the body by an earlier, primary infection. Shingles arises i
