Guess what, Mob! If you’ve had chickenpox as a kid, you’re more likely to get shingles as an adult. 😬
Shingles is a viral infection that causes a painful, blistering rash. You’re at higher risk if you’re:
✅ Over 50
✅ Have a weakened immune system
✅ Had chickenpox as a baby
Symptoms include:
⭐Burning, tingling, or itching
⭐Sensitivity to light
⭐Headache and tiredness
If you notice these symptoms, see your doctor ASAP—especially if you’re pregnant or have a weakened immune system. Early treatment with antiviral meds can help reduce symptoms and complications.
Stay healthy, Mob! 💛
