Can I take a shower with shingles?

Herpes zoster is characterized by clusters of thin-walled blisters along the innervation area. If the blisters are not ruptured, you can take a bath, but be careful not to rub them, not to use soap, not to heat them too high, and not to bathe too long. After washing, dry them in time and apply antiviral ointment. If the blisters are ruptured, you cannot bathe. Local to prevent contact with water, in case of secondary bacterial infection, can be coated with antiviral ointment at the same time, combined with topical anti-infective ointment.
