My mom is about 60 and has been diagnosed with Shingles. It all started with back pain last Sunday and within a week, red rashes appeared on her back. We initially assumed it was due to the hot weather, but our family doctor confirmed it's Shingles. She's been in a lot of pain and says it's burning. We're pretty worried about it. Should we consult a skin specialist for this? What should we do next?

I'm curious about the cost of getting a mucocele removed using laser treatment. Also, how much downtime should I expect afterwards?

Mucocele removal is a minor surgery. It requires only a few hours of post-operative rest until the anesthesia wears off. You can then be discharged. Cost of the surgery varies depending on the facility at which you have the procedure done.
