Post shingles skin lesions leave a scar at the site and the paresthesia. Patients always complain of pain in the region which usually decrease with time but persist in mild grade though.
As a fact, its a viral disease like any other disease it weakens the host.
I would recommend you a balanced diet with protein rich supplements to recover your lost strength.
There is nothing to worry about.
Stay Fit.
