A member asked:
Hello doctors, can water be applied to rashes of herpes zoster for washing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sure, water is OK: The temperature is the key. Your skin will react to water if the temperature is too cold or too hot, which could lead to more pain and obvious discomfort. Room temperature water can help ease the painful, uncomfortable skin of shingles. Make sure to wash your towels after the use. Be well.
