Question: how long does it take to get over the shingles virus?
Answer: Somewhere between 1 and 5 days after the tingling or burning feeling on the skin, a red rash will appear. A few days later, the rash will turn into fluid-filled blisters. About a week to 10 days after that, the blisters dry up and crust over. A couple of weeks later, the scabs clear up.
