shingles and the cause

Shingles is a condition that affects the skin and is characterized by a very painful rash consisting of vesicles and clustered together. its causative agent is a virus Varicella Zoster that causes the common childhood condition of chicken pox.

Following this initial infection the virus remains in your body usually in some parts of your nerves.

It is reactivated by a weakening of the individual\'s immune system. this may be due to infections eg HIV/AIDS, medical conditions like diabetes or cancer that affects the bone marrow or blood system.

Some drugs especially chemotherapy and radiotherapy may also trigger shingles.
