Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Shingle is a viral infection that is characterized by painful blisters with rash and skin burning sensation. Once you acquire shingles, there is a low probability of getting the disease again. Treatment of shingles is mainly supportive, including pain killers and soothing agent with anti-histamines.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
