Postherpetic Neuralgia

Comprehensive information for you or a loved one — including treatment options and discounts on popular medications.

Postherpetic neuralgia is pain due to nerve damage caused by shingles. Symptoms include sharp, stinging pain on the skin, itching, and pain lasting months after the shingles outbreak.

A vaccine for shingles can be given to reduce the risk of getting postherpetic neuralgia. Common drug classes used to treat postherpetic neuralgia are anti-epileptics, TRPV1 agonists, and local anesthetics.
