Shingles is a really annoying companion. It causes not only a nasty-looking skin reaction but also pain that can last for months, even years.

In the worst cases, you have to use very strong painkillers, such as opiates.

On discussion forums, people call this disease “terrible” and quite a few have some kind of experience with it. It is said that up to one in three Finns will experience shingles during their lifetime. Can it be avoided? How is it treated? At the very least, you should take the vaccine available for shingles.

The picture of the 61-year-old man who came to the reception is horrible to look at. The diagnosis was not unclear.

Read about shingles and see the picture (not for the sensitive).
