SHINGLES

Shingles is associated with Chicken Pox. Nerves contain inactive virus until triggered by weak immunity, illness, trauma or stress. Outbreaks are common after age 50.
Symptoms initially are skin sensitivity, stinging, burning and raw pain. Within a few days, a red rash typically appears and pox-like blisters may form, bleed, pus and scab over. Occasionally, there is pain without blisters or vice versa.
Like Chicken pox, shingles can spread over several areas of the body; buttocks, genitals, back, arms, legs, and face. Nasal blisters are a potential for eye infection, which can be serious and endanger vision. Consult an ophthalmologist.
