My husband had shingles 2 years ago and it seems to be coming back. Can the pharmacist do anything?

Can he come and see a pharmacist or does he have to see a doctor?

Good evening ma'am,

It can indeed come by the pharmacy to show the lesions. The pharmacist will not be able to diagnose the situation, nor will he prescribe the necessary treatments if it is shingles, but he can provide a treatment solution if it is not shingles.

True to your pleasure,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist

I worked as a pharmacist in the emergency department of the Granby Hospital for 6 years before dedicating myself to Ask your Pharmacist. I completed my education in telehealth at Jefferson University in Philadelphia and are recently completed a Postgraduate Diploma in Health Informatics at Université de Sherbrooke.
