Hello......
Thanks for your query. Shingles is herpes zozter, a viral infection. It is a disease that may flare during times of stress. There is no specific treatment. However, topical antibiotics to prevent secondary infections as well as analgesics to relieve pain are recommended. I would also suggest you breathing relaxation exercises, yoga/meditation to reduce your stress levels.
