When the 1st day Daddy thought it was rashes but painfully painful instead, I took a rash cream to appy for him which didn’t help and the next day, you could literally see the rash spread in a semi-circle quickly.
Daddy went to the company’s clinic (clinic that do not have regular doctors on duty) and it was shingles alright, SNAKE we called it. In total Daddy took abt 2-3 weeks medical leave.
back to That night, we were quite worried, we brought him to bishan sinseh to catch the head and burn the snake to death!!! Gagaga!
The sinseh was also shocked to see that the rashes (snake) has grown into a large snake.
Nevertheless the treatment helps after several visits including acupunture and today he is well recovering.
Because its shingles, it attacks his nerves inside during when it was alive and till today, he is feeling the pain right inside which the doctors said it would take a few months or years even for the pain inside to subside completely.
And also I learnt that shingles is the virus from chickenpox that didn’t explode in the chicken pox DAYS and stayed dormant in your body and one fine day decides to erupt which causes rashes SHINGLES!

Shingles:-
Shingles is a skin rash caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. This virus is called the Varicella zoster virus (VZV) and is in the Herpes family of viruses. After an individual has chickenpox, this virus lives in the nervous system and is never fully cleared from the body. Under certain circumstances, such as emotional stress, immune deficiency, low immune system or with cancer, the virus reactivates and causes shingles. In most cases of shingles, however, a cause for the reactivation of the virus is never found. Anyone who has ever had chickenpox is at risk for the development of shingles, although it occurs most commonly in people over the age of 60. It has been estimated that up to 1,000,000 cases of shingles occur each year in the U.
