What is the best home remedy for shingles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sorry, but there is no effective home remedy. Shingles (herpes zoster) needs to be promptly treated with an anti-herpes drug, usually valacyclovir, and sometimes a steroid like prednisone to reduce the chance of future post-herpetic pain.
