Sir Cliff Richard health: Singer recalls 'horrible' condition affecting his head - signs
Sir Cliff Richard has delighted the world over for decades through his music, acting and philanthropy. However, some of Sir Cliff’s light temporarily diminished following false allegations of child abuse. Yorkshire Police raided his home in Sunningdale, Berkshire, in August 2014, following the allegations. Despite the police announcing that no charges would be brought against the singer in 2016, he was subject to a two-year ordeal that caused his health to deteriorate.
According to the NHS, a rash will typically appear a few days later.
Usually you get shingles on your chest and tummy, but, like Sir Cliff, it can appear on your face, eyes and genitals, notes the health body.
How to treat shingles
Shingles isn’t a life-threatening condition, but it can be very painful.
Unfortunately, there’s no cure for shingles, “but prompt treatment with prescription antiviral drugs can speed healing and reduce your risk of complications,” explains the Mayo Clinic.
