Shingles sores located in throat |
|
Dear Ask The Doctor: Can shingles appear internally, like in the throat? Dear Lana: Herpes Zoster or Shingles is a viral infection that causes a painful rash. Although shingles can occur anywhere on your body, it most often appears as a band of blisters that wraps from the middle of your back around one side of your chest to your breastbone. I would suggest you to talk to your physician about the possibility of having the Shingles Vaccine; this would help you prevent new episodes of Shingles but would not treat it. I hope I cleared your doubt. |
