how long does it take for shingles to heal?

Answer 1

Herpes zoster or shingles is a viral infection. The spread of the disease stops within 48 hours if start with the antiviral medicine. Without any medicine it would take 10 to 15 days to start healing. But sometimes there might be pain without skin lesions (post herpetic neuralgia) even after the lesions have healed... this can last for 3 to 6 months.. Post herpetic neuralgia is seen untreated cases, elderply patients, patients who might have a major systemic illness. If the antivirals are not started there are chances of secondary bacterial infection which would takes many days to heal with out medicines.
So with medicines within 7 days you would be alright... but woud take many weeks if you dont take the medicines

I had Shingles for the first time a few weeks ago. I am normally in good health and haven't had any other health challenges before, so it came as a surprise.

Shingles is probably the most painful thing I have ever encountered. I went to the doctor, and he gave me some prescription drugs to take that was suposed to help, but didn't.

My wife found the Fast Shingles Cure ebook online and bought it for me, I am very lucky to have such a wonderful woman in my life. We followed the book, did what it said, and it delivered what it promised. Finally my Shingles rash is over... I feel truly blessed and thankful.

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).

Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.

The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid?such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.

I got diagnosed with herpes type 2 about seven years ago, when I was still in college and had a spupid one-night stand. I know a lot of girls will say this but I swear – I never did that sort of thing.

I jud made mistake that one timd and, suddenly, it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date guys again. After all, who wants to go out with a girl who has sores around her you-know-what?

But after a frind share this video http://tinyurl.com/EraseHerpesw everything has changed. Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than three weeks, but I was also able to start dating again.

I even met the man of my dreams and I`m so blessed to write that just last week, in fornt of everyone in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This program gave me back the change to be happy, and to experience true love. Now I want to help you share this the world.

Ouch. Six weeks for sure. There is an antiviral medication for it, that prevents it from getting into the extreme painful stage. It's expensive, but well worth it. Check with your doctor for a prescription.
