Shingles is an infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which causes a rash that is quite painful. According to the Mayo Clinic this virus lays dormant in your nerve tissue, for many years after having had chickenpox as a child. The virus can be reactivated in adulthood, appearing as a cluster of blisters usually on one side of your torso and sometimes on the left or right side of your face.
While vaccines are available to help lower the risk of awakening the shingles virus, it can still occur; seeing your doctor for early treatment is extremely important for lessening the duration of the symptoms and complications of this painful virus; Anti-viral and anti-inflammatory drugs may be prescribed to aid in treatment.
However, once you have developed the painful SKIN BLISTERS there are NATURAL HOME REMEDIES that can reduce pain and discomfort. These are the 6 most helpful ones:
1. COOL WET COMPRESSES
2. APPLYING ZINC CONTAINING LOTIONS to REDUCE ITCHING
3. TAKING A BATH WITH EPSOM SALT AND BAKING SODA
4. APPLYING 3-4 DROPS OF LEMON BALM SEVERAL TIMES A DAY
5. ADD OATMEAL TO A LUKEWARM BATH
