Jasins Pharmacy
Shingles is caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus in the body. It presents as a painful rash, often on one side of the body, and can cause significant discomfort. The rash turns into fluid-filled blisters that eventually crust over, and shingles is also associated with nerve pain that can linger even after the rash clears up.
At Jasins Pharmacy, we can advise you on managing shingles with antiviral medication (which needs to be prescribed if caught early) and pain relief treatments. Our team can also provide information on over-the-counter creams to help soothe the rash and reduce irritation. Early intervention is key to reducing the severity of shingles, so don’t hesitate to consult us if you suspect you have the condition.
