🦠 What You Need to Know About Shingles 🦠

Shingles is a painful rash caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. It can appear anywhere on the body but often shows up as a stripe of blisters on one side.

Who can get it?
- Anyone who has had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine
- People over 50 are at higher risk
- Those with weakened immune systems

Common symptoms include:
- Burning or tingling pain
- Red rash with blisters
- Fever or fatigue

Early treatment can reduce pain, speed healing, and lower the risk of complications. Antiviral medications are most effective when started as soon as possible.

If you think you may have shingles, visit Spectrum Medical for proper diagnosis and treatment. Our providers offer compassionate care and help manage symptoms quickly.

📅 Book your appointment today at spectrummedicalcare.org or call 602-604-9500.
