Hi There, I Have Question About Shingles And How Contagious
Hi there, I have question about shingles and how contagious they are. On December 21, 2016 I had a total knee replacement at the age of 48. The incision has completely healed except of a 1.5 inch area that is scabbed but prone to reopening as my knee bends. I keep it clean and use antibiotic ointment. I had chicken pox when I was a teen, but as yet have not had shingles. I just found out that my boyfriend's rash has been diagnosed as shingles. Should I be concerned about a possible infection due to my TKR last month?
