Shingles is an infection that causes a rash on your skin. If you have shingles, there’s a chance other people can catch chickenpox from you. It can take up to a month for the rash to heal, but medicine can help with the symptoms.

Some of the symptoms of shingles are:

• Tingling
• Pain
• A headache
• A rash
• Itchy blisters.

If you need treatment to help manage your shingles, you don’t have to see a GP.

With our new Pharmacy First service, you can get the help you need. Just pop into your nearest pharmacy. You can have a private consultation with one of our pharmacists and get advice and treatment to help you manage your symptoms.
