Shingle is a viral rash that can cause extreme discomfort and pain. There are severe complications associated with shingles, making an accurate diagnosis and prompt treatment essential for good health outcomes. Some of the complications include long-term nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia), brain inflammation, vision problems, and bacterial infections of the skin.
Rarely, serious complications like encephalitis can occur when the virus spreads through the bloodstream leading to swelling of the brain. It is important for individuals who suspect they may have shingles to contact their healthcare provider so that proper treatment can begin quickly to mitigate the risk of these potential complications.
