Can I take a shower with herpes zoster?

After getting shingles, you can take a bath. However, during bathing, the patient should pay attention to prevent repeated rubbing of the skin where shingles occur. If you accidentally break the blister, the patient will easily show the existence of skin infection. At this time, touching water and other toiletries is very likely to cause bacterial, fungal and viral infections. This can cause problems and may prolong the treatment of shingles. Therefore, after shingles, the patient can take a bath. However, if the area is large, try to take a bath to clean the skin.
