Meds For Shingles

Updated

My friend had got bitten by a non posionious spider and for 4 years every month she has blisters to come up from where she got bit. The dr. says the spider bit her in a nerve and it has caused nuarotic pain like shingles. Has anyone ever heard of this,and what kind of meds would get rid of this? She said the pain is severe,and the skin very sore to the touch.

If someone is infected with a herpes simplex virus, which is not the same as genital herpes, it is known to sometimes lie dormant in nerve cells and then act up due to some types of trauma.

There is no cure for it, but certain medications can help limit the amount of flare ups or shorten their duration.

Are there any other questions?
