Shingles
Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, occurs when an inactive virus in nerve cells becomes active again and causes a blistering skin rash. Nothing can cure a shingles attack; however, antiviral medications may help you recover faster and reduce your risk of developing complications.
While shingles can affect people of any age, it’s most likely to strike people after age 60. You can’t prevent shingles, but getting the recombinant zoster vaccine (Shingrix) can greatly reduce your risk.
