I just went to a doctor and got diagnosed with shingles...?!
Question: I already finished taking the tablets but still am using the cream and body wash. I was wondering, because i am only 11yrs old, how did I get it? I mean it supposed to happen after a lot of stress like working day and night in an office which i obviously don't. AND how do I stop the itching? Any home remedies? I mean the cream doesn't do anything at all except heal it i guess..I am asking: Why does it happen to 11yr olds? How to stop the itching with home remedies?

I am so sorry about your shingles outbreak!
Yes you are very young however it is a kin to the chicken pox virus and personally I believe that we will begin seeing more and more cases in youth.
The reason I feel is extreme pressure not only at home, but school, socially etc.
You may not feel stressed but deep inside maybe you really are.
I would reccomend going to the health store. My mom had shingles the day she retired, she should have been full of joy but was inside very afraid.
The provided a oatmeal bath product which she said was amazing as well as an herbal remedy to take. By all means check with health experts before doing anything different but it is a great way to stop itch and relieve paid. I wish you the best for your recovery!
It's just an adult version of the chicken pox and it's contagious; maybe you were around someone else that had it. It will work over time; try your best not to scratch...it will scar!
you can get shingles also from other people, also ask your parents to buy chewing tobacco or can of snuff mix with a little water and rub onto effected areas.and have your parents change out all sheets and try not to wear tight clothes
