Shingles (herpes zoster) is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. It’s the same virus that causes chickenpox.
If you had chickenpox as a child, the shingles virus lies dormant in your body. Later in life, the virus can reactivate and result in shingles. Any area of your body can develop the rash, but usually only affects small sections.
An antiviral is a good way to treat shingles, but it's not the only one. Several natural treatments can also ease discomfort and pain.
