Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was diagnosed with shingles. I only had 3 sores. It was a very mild case. I don't know if they will come back. Can I do anything to stop them from coming back like vitamins? I have had itching and small sores on my leg. I don't know if it is shingles.
There is a vaccine available to prevent recurrence of shingles. Recurrence of shingles is common when there is fall in immunity levels like in illness, stressful conditions.
So I suggest you replenish your immune system with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
Your present sores have to be examined by your treating doctor to confirm shingles.
You can discuss the option of vaccine also with him.
Thanks.
