Shingles (Ananse) Treatment in Ghana
Suffering from a painful rash or blistering skin? You might be experiencing shingles, commonly known in our local dialect as “Ananse.” At Elitecare Center, we provide fast, effective shingles treatment to relieve discomfort, prevent complications, and help your skin heal. Our expert dermatology team offers compassionate, personalized care for every patient.
What is Shingles (Ananse)?
Shingles, or Herpes Zoster, is a viral skin infection caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus. It appears as a painful rash, usually on one side of the body or face, and can cause burning, tingling, or intense discomfort. Without treatment, shingles can lead to serious nerve pain and complications, especially in older adults.
Benefits of Shingles Treatment
- Speeds up healing of the rash and blisters.
- Reduces pain and inflammation.
- Lowers the risk of long-term nerve pain (postherpetic neuralgia).
- Prevents complications and spread of the virus.
- Improves overall comfort and quality of life during recovery.

TESTIMONIALS
Hear from Our Patients




From the moment we arrived, the security officer was very helpful and assisted us with parking. As soon as we entered, we were welcomed by a beautiful reception area with a calm and pleasant ambience. The staff were incredibly warm, professional, and always smiling, which immediately put us at ease.
One thing that stood out was how prompt their service was. We hardly had to wait before my daughter’s vital signs were taken and we were ushered in to see Dr. Frank Appiagyei. He was absolutely wonderful: kind, patient, and very reassuring. He made us feel comfortable from the start, almost as though he had known us for years. He took the time to carefully explain everything about my daughter’s condition, the recommended investigations, and the treatment plan.
When it was time for the laboratory tests, the staff again demonstrated exceptional professionalism. They clearly explained each procedure and what the various tests were intended to assess. Most importantly, they treated my daughter with dignity, respect, and sensitivity throughout the process, which meant a great deal to me as a parent.
While waiting for the results, we spent some time in the lounge area, which was beautifully designed; relaxing, calming, and impeccably maintained. Even the overall scent and cleanliness of the facility contributed to a very pleasant experience.
I also learned that, beyond dermatology services, they offer aesthetic treatments such as facials and other skincare services.
I would highly recommend Elite Care Medical Center to anyone seeking quality dermatological care or aesthetic services. The combination of excellent customer service, professionalism, efficiency, and genuine compassion has completely won me over. I wouldn’t hesitate to return whenever the need arises.
Thank you to Dr. Frank Appiagyei and the entire team for taking such good care of my daughter and making what could have been a stressful visit such a positive experience.

Dr. Frank is extremely knowledgeable and has such a wonderful bedside manner. He treated my daughter with genuine care, patience, and professionalism, which immediately put me at ease. Every staff member we encountered was kind, professional, and attentive.
I also want to specifically mention the phlebotomist, who was incredibly gentle with my daughter. This was the very first time she had blood drawn and she did not scream or cry out in pain at all, which says a lot. They also provided her test results very quickly — the same day — which I greatly appreciated.
One thing I truly appreciate about living in Ghana is that when it comes to beauty, wellness, dermatology, dentistry, and personal care services, people really take the time to do things properly — and Elite Medical Care Center reflects exactly that level of excellence.
Thank you!
I will absolutely be returning for my own cosmetic needs and will gladly recommend this office to my friends and family. Highly recommended!


The doctor took his time to engage with me for as long as I needed. Lab results were received within an hour and I didn’t have to book another appointment just for the result. It’s easy to locate as well.
Excellent service.














The first place I really understood my health and process for healing.

But they service doesn’t come cheap so depending on what you going to do budget like 10k plus. And it’s worth it













What stands out the most is their commitment to patient centered care. They take their time to explain procedures, offer reassurance, and follow through with excellent medical support. It’s rare to find such a perfect balance of expertise and genuine compassion.
I highly recommend EliteCare to anyone seeking quality healthcare with professionalism at its best.
