Shingles or herpes zoster is a painful skin condition that results from a reactivation of an infection with the varicella zoster virus; the same virus is responsible for chickenpox. It is a viral disease characterized by a painful skin rash with blisters in a localized area. Miric Biotech typically the rash occurs in a single stripe either on the left or right of the body or face which usually remains for the period of two to four weeks. While there's no cure for shingles, getting immediate treatment can help speed the healing process and reduce your risk of complications.

Symptoms:

The earliest symptoms of shingles, which include headache, fever, and malaise, are nonspecific, and may result in an incorrect diagnosis and are commonly followed by sensations of burning pain and itching,

Diagnosis:

Diagnosis is typically based on diseased person's signs and symptoms. Your doctor may also take a tissue scraping or culture of the blisters for examination in the laboratory. When the rash is absent (early or late in the disease, or in the case of zoster sine herpete) shingles can be difficult to diagnose. Apart from the rash, most symptoms can occur also in other conditions.

Prevention:

Miric Biotech Ltd experts says prevention of shingles in people who have contracted chickenpox is difficult, since the factors that trigger reactivation are not yet defined. However, if a person is never infected with the virus, shingles will not develop.

Remedies:

Healing baths

You can also take a healing bath to reduce symptoms. Pour 1 to 2 cups of colloidal oatmeal or cornstarch into lukewarm bathwater and soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Do not use hot water. Dry your body completely and then wash your towel to avoid spreading the virus to others.

Wet, cool compress

Apply a cool, moist compress. Do this several times throughout the day to relieve symptoms. Soak a cloth in cool water, wring out the water, and apply the cloth to the rash and blisters.

Baking soda and corn starch paste

Make a paste using cornstarch or baking soda and water to naturally relieve itching caused by a shingles rash. Pour two parts cornstarch or baking soda into a cup and add one part water to achieve the desired consistency. Apply the mixture to your rash, and then rinse it off after 10 to 15 minutes.

Soothing lotions and creams

Apply topical ointments containing the natural ingredient capsaicin up to three or four times a day. This is the active ingredient in chili peppers. It has an anti-inflammatory effect to help ease pain.

Foods that promote healing include:

  • orange and yellow fruits
  •  leafy green vegetables
  •   red meat
  •   eggs
  •   chicken
  •   wild-caught fish
