How long does the shingles rash last?

The blisters usually scab over within 7-10 days, while the rash can take 2-4 weeks to heal completely. Nerve pain can linger for months in some cases.

What can I do to relieve shingles pain?

Over-the-counter pain relievers can help. During your Pharmacy First Shingles Treatment consultation, our pharmacist will discuss the options and tailor a solution specific to your medical history. Our pharmacists are experienced health professionals in the Leighton Buzzard area.
