What is shingles pain?<\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n

Shingles, also known as herpes zoster<\/strong>, is a reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus\u2014the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person has had chickenpox, the virus can remain dormant in the body for years and later reactivate, causing a painful outbreak that usually affects only one side of the body or face. <\/p>\n

Pain often begins as burning, tingling, or extreme skin sensitivity, followed by the appearance of blisters in the affected area. In some cases, pain continues for months or even years<\/strong> after the skin lesions have healed. This condition is known as postherpetic neuralgia.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Causes<\/h3><\/div>
<\/p>\n

Shingles-related pain is caused by inflammation of the nerves triggered by the reactivated virus. Risk factors that may lead to this reactivation include: <\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    Aging (particularly in adults over 50)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Prolonged stress or severe anxiety episodes<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    A weakened immune system due to illness or medical treatments<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    Chronic conditions such as cancer or HIV<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Postherpetic neuralgia occurs when the damaged nerve continues to send pain signals to the brain even after the active infection has resolved.<\/p>\n
