I am scheduled for zsprint stimulator oct. 22th i had shingles sept. 4th. those sores on back take awhile to go away. my back problem is on my waist and shingles is higher up. can they do it or wd they hv to wait until everything is clear?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Conventional wisdom here is to wait until all skin lesions have completely cleared. The personnel who would work on your case, including young women who could be pregnant, would not want to be exposed to active herpes virus lesions.
