How Long Do Shingles Take To Get Cured?

I got shingles around the first of December. I was never terribly uncomfortable but did experience blisters, scabs and now left with dark pink marks where the shingles were on my right arm & back. How long will they last? They are sometimes uncomfortable . Is there a treatment?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I think the blisters of shingles may need 3-4 weeks to go away completely. You can use calamine lotion over them or can apply menthol talk locally.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
