Herpes Zoster (Shingles) Treatment
Fast Relief from Painful Skin Rash
Herpes Zoster, commonly known as Shingles, is a painful skin condition caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus — the same virus responsible for chickenpox. It usually appears as a painful, blistering rash on one side of the body, often accompanied by burning, tingling, or itching sensations.
At our dermatology and skin care clinic, we provide specialized Herpes Zoster treatment focused on reducing pain, preventing complications, and promoting fast skin recovery. Early treatment is essential for minimizing discomfort and avoiding long-term nerve pain.

Advanced Herpes Zoster Treatment Options
Our clinic offers personalized Herpes Zoster management plans designed to relieve pain, heal the rash, and prevent recurrence.
- Antiviral Medications
Early use of antiviral therapy such as acyclovir, valacyclovir, or famciclovir helps stop the virus from multiplying and speeds up healing. Starting treatment within 72 hours of the rash appearing gives the best results
- Topical Treatments
Special medicated creams and cooling lotions reduce itching, dryness, and inflammation, helping the skin heal faster.
- Laser and Light Therapy
For patients with severe pain or scarring, we offer low-level laser therapy to promote healing and minimize postherpetic neuralgia (chronic nerve pain after shingles).
- Immunity and Skin Care Support
Our dermatologists provide guidance on immune-boosting lifestyle changes, proper skincare routines, and preventive vaccinations to reduce future outbreaks.

Key Information You Should Know About Herpes Zoster Treatment
Our team of expert doctors and specialists are dedicated to helping you.
What is Herpes Zoster (Shingles)?
Herpes Zoster, commonly known as shingles, is a viral skin condition caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus — the same virus responsible for chickenpox. It leads to a painful rash with blisters, typically on one side of the body.
What are the symptoms of Herpes Zoster?
Common symptoms include burning or tingling pain, followed by a red rash and fluid-filled blisters. Other symptoms may include fever, headache, and fatigue. The rash usually appears on the chest, face, neck, or back.
What causes shingles to develop?
Shingles occur when the chickenpox virus becomes reactivated in nerve tissues, often years after the initial infection. Triggers can include stress, aging, weak immunity, or certain medications.
How is Herpes Zoster treated?
Treatment aims to reduce pain, speed healing, and prevent complications. Our dermatologist may prescribe:
Antiviral medications (acyclovir, valacyclovir, famciclovir)
Pain-relief medications
Topical creams or cool compresses
Treatment for post-herpetic neuralgia (nerve pain) if needed
How long does shingles last?
Typically, shingles last 2–4 weeks, but nerve pain (post-herpetic neuralgia) may persist longer in some patients. Early antiviral treatment can shorten the duration and reduce pain severity.
Is shingles contagious?
While shingles itself isn’t contagious, the virus can spread to someone who has never had chickenpox, causing them to develop chickenpox (not shingles). Avoid direct contact with open blisters until they scab over.
Can shingles cause permanent nerve pain or scars?
Yes, some patients may develop post-herpetic neuralgia, a persistent nerve pain even after the rash heals. Early treatment helps minimize this risk. Our dermatologist can also help manage residual scarring with laser and topical therapies.
Can shingles be prevented?
Yes. The shingles vaccine (Zostavax or Shingrix) is effective in preventing shingles and its complications, especially for adults over 50 or those with weakened immunity.
