The best treatment for shingles will be prescription antivirals. There isn't any over the counter remedies that help very much. Hydrocortisone may a little but not significant. Mostly you have to wait them out. Consider a shingles vaccine to prevent future outbreaks.

Metal vs. asphalt shingles for residential roofing: which is better and why?

It depends on a variety of factors, including cost, longevity, style, and local climate. Metal is the most durable roofing material, but it can be quite expensive and is not suitable for certain architectural styles. Asphalt shingles are much more economical and typically last 20-30 years, depending on the climate and other external factors. In some climates, asphalt is still the preferred choice because it is better at resisting damage caused by extreme cold or snow. Ultimately, the best option will depend on personal preference and budget.

I have itchy spots on many parts of my body. Could this be a reaction to the shingles vaccination which I had almost 2 weeks ago?

Hello Friend,
Here is a picture of shingles just to see if those itchy spots on your body can be shingles.
shingles-2-l0kpbnxoziwwkysmgfhgmd4c-5-1.jpg One of the distinguishing hallmark of shingles is that it has the pattern of following a line covered on your body by its accompanying spinal nerve. Oh shingles, how clever of you to have a pathway!
Now given the nature of vaccinations, I believe if people had any idea of what was being injecting into those immunizations they would be mortified, after all that is one way to build your immunity by injecting yourself with the very thing you're building defenses against. There are other healthier, safer ways to build your immunity. Case in point, I am a TRUE believer that if our immune systems were strong enough in the first place there would be no need for vaccinations.

What do shingles look like and how long do they appear on body

Shingles first appears as a linear red rash on one side of the body, followed by blisters along the same line. Before this there is often tingling or localised pain in the area. It usually clears up in 2-4 weeks but may take longer, and is often so sensitive that clothing cannot be worn over the area.

It is caused by a reactivation of the chicken pox virus, sometimes many years later, so in a person who has never had chicken pox the rash may be something else.

There is a vaccine for shingles, and early treatment with anti-viral medicine can reduce the severity of it.

If you think you may have shingles, see a doctor, especially as you will be infectious.

Shingles are they contagious?

The virus is spread through direct contact with fluid from the rash blisters caused by shingles. A person with active shingles can spread the virus when the rash is in the blister-phase. A person is not infectious before the blisters appear. Once the rash has developed crusts, the person is no longer contagious.17 Sep 2014
