I was diagnosed with shingles. I only had 3 sores. It was a very mild case. I dont know if they will come back. Can I do anything to stop them from coming back like vitamins?   I have had itching and small sores on my leg. I dont know if it is shingles.
Hi, Welcome to Chat Doctor. There is a vaccine available to prevent recurrence of shingles. Recurrence of shingles is common when there is fall in immunity levels like in illness, stressful conditions. So I suggest you replenish your immune system with a balanced diet and regular exercise. Your present sores have to be examined by your treating doctor to confirm shingles. You can discuss the option of vaccine also with him. Thanks.
