Q : I have got shingles n am really scared i am only 13 do u no away I can treat them

Answer : Hello Chelsey. It is rare for children to get Shingles, however if you have shingles, then there is no need to get scared. Shingles is sort of a grown up relation of chickenpox. People who have had chickenpox when they were young may get shingles when they are older. A person can't catch shingles from someone who has shingles or chickenpox, but touching the watery stuff in shingles spots can give someone chickenpox if they haven't already had it. You must consult a doctor for a correct diagnosis and treatment. Visit a paediatrician or a general doctor at your local hospital.
