Description

Dr Priya Rathi is the best doctor in Pune who deals with pain related to Herpes Zoster/ Shingles in acute or chronic stage. Shingles, also known as herpes zoster, is a viral infection caused by the varicella-zoster virus—it is the same virus responsible for chickenpox. While shingles typically manifests as a painful rash, itching that affects a specific area of the body, it can also lead to long-term complications, including chronic pain. Chronic pain in shingles, also known as postherpetic neuralgia (PHN), is a condition characterized by persistent pain that lasts even after the rash has healed. This pain can vary in intensity, ranging from mild discomfort to excruciating agony. PHN occurs when the varicella-zoster virus damages nerve fibers during the initial shingles infection, causing them to send exaggerated pain signals to the brain long after the rash has disappeared.
