Is Shingles Treatment Right For You?
Many people seek treatment when they notice:
- Burning, tingling, or itching on one side of the body
- A band or strip of rash on the torso or face
- Fluid-filled blisters that later crust over
- Skin that is very sensitive to touch
- Fever, headache, or fatigue
Antiviral treatment works best when started within 3 days of the rash appearing.
What Is Shingles?
Shingles is a painful rash caused by the varicella-zoster virus — the same virus that causes chickenpox. After chickenpox, the virus stays dormant in the body and can reactivate years later.
Shingles is most common in adults over 50 and people with weakened immune systems, but anyone who has had chickenpox can get it.
The good news: starting antiviral treatment early can shorten the outbreak and ease symptoms.
How Shingles Spreads
You can’t catch shingles from someone, but the virus can spread through:
- Direct contact with fluid from open blisters
- Touching towels or clothing that touched the rash
- Close contact before the blisters crust over
- Spreading to people who never had chickenpox or the vaccine
People exposed this way may develop chickenpox, not shingles. Once blisters crust over, the rash is no longer contagious.
Preventing Shingles
You can lower your risk of shingles — and of spreading the virus — by:
- Getting the shingles vaccine (Shingrix) if you’re 50 or older
- Keeping the rash covered until it crusts over
- Not scratching or touching the blisters
- Washing hands often
- Avoiding pregnant people and newborns while contagious
Shingrix is also recommended for adults 19 and older with weakened immune systems.

Shingles Treatment
Shingles is treated with prescription antiviral medication to:
- Shorten the outbreak
- Ease pain and discomfort
- Lower the risk of long-term nerve pain
Common treatments include antivirals such as Valacyclovir or Acyclovir.
Your provider may also recommend medication for pain relief.
Treatment works best when started within 72 hours of the rash appearing.
Important: Take every dose as prescribed, even after the pain begins to ease.

Shingles Risks & Complications
Get in-person or emergency care right away if you notice:
- A rash on your face, near your eye, or on the tip of your nose
- Vision changes or eye pain
- Confusion, severe headache, or a stiff neck
- A rash spreading across large areas of the body
- Signs of skin infection, like spreading redness or pus
The most common complication is postherpetic neuralgia — nerve pain that lasts after the rash heals.
Online Care for Shingles
Online treatment may be a good fit if:
- Your rash started within the last few days
- The rash isn’t on your face or near your eye
- You don’t have a weakened immune system
- You want to start antivirals quickly
- You’d rather not sit in a waiting room while contagious
If your symptoms need an in-person exam, your provider will tell you and recommend next steps.
