Suggest Remedy For Shingles
In the past I have had shingles and am having the same symptoms as previously. My Question: I understand that there isn't much that can be done for this condition....so should I just wait it out or see a physician? Are there any complications that can happen, if left untreated? Thank you.

Hello
You know that much can't be done for this condition ( for shingles ).
I want to tell you that if untreated patient may have "POSTHERPETIC NEURALGIA .
Note this report.
One study showed twofold faster resolution of postherpetic neuralgia in famiclovir-treated patients with shingles than in non-recipients of treatment .
In my opinion consult a primary care physician and take proper treatment as local applicant as well as oral tablets.
Hope this information will be helpful for you.
