Shingles is a common and highly painful skin condition that affects 1 in 3 people in the United States. It is caused by the varicella zoster (or herpes zoster) virus, which lives within the body and can flare up at any time. This is the same virus that causes chickenpox, and it lies dormant within anyone who has ever had chickenpox.
Our terrasil® Shingles Skincare formula is not intended to treat shingles or the underlying shingles virus. The product can be used on skin that has become red and irritated from intense itch and pain. For a complete treatment plan, severe rash or outbreak, or severe shingles pain, itch and burning, be sure to consult your physician.
