Shingles Management – Get Relief, Just a Tap Away

“Got Shingles? Tap into Relief with Tap Telehealth!”

Alright, let’s talk about shingles – that not-so-fun condition caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. You know the drill: that painful rash with blisters that can make you feel miserable. And trying to fit in a doctor’s appointment when you’re dealing with that kind of discomfort can just seem like too much to handle.

But here’s the good news: Tap Telehealth is here to help established patients manage their shingles, providing guidance and support right from your phone. You can get fast, convenient relief without having to leave home. Please note: if you have never had a shingles diagnosis we will likely need you to be evaluated in person.

Getting help for shingles (for established patients) with Tap Telehealth is super easy:

  1. Tap & Text: Reach out when you start experiencing a shingles outbreak.
  2. Chat with a Pro: Our Doctors will ask you about your symptoms, how long they’ve been going on, and if you have been diagnosed with shingles before.
  3. Snap a Picture (If Needed): Sometimes, seeing is believing! If needed, your Doctor might ask you for a picture of the rash.
  4. Personalized Recommendations: We’ll give you personalized guidance on how to manage your symptoms.
  5. Medication Options: If appropriate, we can send in a prescription to help clear the outbreak quicker.
  6. When to Seek In-Person Care: We’ll help you determine when your symptoms might need an in-person evaluation.

While Tap Telehealth can help established patients manage their shingles, sometimes an in-person visit is needed. Here’s what to watch out for:

  • Severe Pain: If you’re experiencing severe pain despite treatment, you should get evaluated in person.
  • Eye Involvement: If the rash affects your eye, you should seek an in-person examination from an eye doctor.
  • Signs of Infection: If you notice swelling, redness, or pus around the rash, it’s important to get checked out in person.
  • Symptoms Worsening: If your symptoms are not improving with treatment or getting worse, you need an in person evaluation.
  • New Onset Shingles: If this is the first time you are having a shingles outbreak, you likely need to seek in person medical care.

“We know how uncomfortable shingles can be, and we’re committed to providing you with the right care quickly and conveniently, so you can get back to feeling like yourself. We will help guide you to the most appropriate treatment options.”
