Does Picato Cause Shingles To Re-occur?
Hi, I was recently prescribed Picato from my skin doctor. I m concerned about the side effects of shingles. I ve had shingles in my late twenties, minor not severe.Would I be more at risk for getting shingles if I were to use Picato? From what I ve read, this side effect is rare. Thank you -- SM
