I was diagnosed with shingles on Friday during my pregnancy check-up. I think I have a new sore. Is this possible?

Yes, it is possible to have new lesions appear a few days after the initial outbreak of shingles. The decision on whether or not to treat the infection with antiviral medication depends on factors such as the severity and duration of the infection, as well as the level of pain and discomfort experienced. It is important to consult with your doctor to discuss the best course of action for your specific situation. The medication acyclovir is commonly recommended for treatment during pregnancy as it is considered safe. It is best to seek medical advice for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
