Shingles is an unsightly condition usually developed as an adult, but pepper can be a quick fix to not only eliminate redness and itching, but also prevent infection. Pepper contains a powerful chemical called capsaicin, which acts as an inti-inflammatory substance and an effective antibacterial agent. By mixing pepper in with aloe vera gel, a strong paste can be made and applied directly to the site of the shingles. Within a few days, the redness and itchiness will be gone, and there’s a good chance that the infection will be cleared up too.
