Some Singapore doctors see more patients with shingles over past 2 years

Shingles may look identical to chickenpox, causing stings and symptoms. However, physicians told CNA that the two conditions differ in how they develop and who they most frequently affect. &nbsp,

Roofing and pox are caused by the exact varicella-zoster disease. &nbsp,

Chickenpox typically manifests in childhood, but it can eventually reappear in adults and spread to people after on, causing tiles.

People who have previously contracted pox are therefore more susceptible to developing roofing in the future, especially those over 50.

Shine is not passed from person to person, whereas chickenpox is extremely contagious- spreading via scars, mouth, or mucus of those infected. &nbsp,

However, someone who has shingles does get chickenpox from someone who has never had it.

For both diseases, symptoms like disease and headache are identical. &nbsp,

For those with pox, bumps appear about two days after other signs, turning into fluid-filled scars that ultimately bruise and slide off.

On the other hand, a shingles reckless causes dark patches and terrible blisters and typically affects one side of the body.
