Suggest Remedy For Mild Shingles
Hi I have shingles at the moment but only a mild form. They are more of a rash no blisters and it is not painful. I have had them a week and have just finished a course of Aciclovir. My daughter has just had a baby how long do I wait before I can hold baby?

Herpes zoster occurs due to reactivation of varicella zoster virus.The exudate from the blister can be infectious.So you must wait until all the blisters have dried up completely.
