FAQs
What causes shingles?
Shingles is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes chickenpox. After someone recovers from chickenpox—typically in childhood—the virus doesn’t leave the body. Instead, it becomes dormant, hiding in nerve cells near the spinal cord and brain (specifically in the dorsal root ganglia).
Years or even decades later, certain triggers can weaken the immune system and allow the virus to “wake up.” When this happens, the virus travels along nerve pathways to the skin, causing pain, burning, and a blistering rash—the hallmark symptoms of shingles.
Several factors can increase the risk of reactivation, including:
- Aging (especially over age 50)
- Weakened immune system (due to illness, cancer, or medications like chemotherapy or steroids)
- Stress (chronic or severe)
- Fatigue or illness that suppresses immune function
Importantly, you cannot get shingles unless you’ve previously had chickenpox or the varicella vaccine (which contains a weakened form of the virus). People who’ve never had chickenpox can’t get shingles but may contract chickenpox if exposed to someone with active shingles lesions.
What are the first signs of shingles?
Tingling, burning, or pain in a specific area, followed by a painful, blistering rash. Usually the rash appears on one side of the body or face, following a nerve path (dermatome). It’s important to seek medical treatment when the first signs of shingles appear to prevent nerve damage.
How long does shingles last?
Typically 2–4 weeks, though nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia) can last longer.
How do I relieve shingles pain?
You can try pain medication, cool compresses, oatmeal baths, and prescription medications for nerve pain can help. You can also apply NeoGenesis Recovery to the area for soothing relief as well.
