Herpes Zoster
Herpes zoster is a painful skin condition caused by the chickenpox-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. It usually occurs in people who have already had chickenpox, as the virus remains dormant in the nervous system and can reactivate years later. Symptoms include severe pain, itching and the appearance of red rashes or blisters, usually on one side of the body or face. Treatment of shingles is essential to relieve pain and avoid complications such as postherpetic neuralgia. Our specialized team provides comprehensive treatment of herpes zoster using antiviral drugs, analgesics and supportive therapies for rapid relief of symptoms. Choose our service for effective and immediate management of herpes zoster, thus improving your quality of life and reducing the chance of complications.
