Q :  I went to the clinic and was seen by a nurse paractioner.He said I have shingles-The burning is unbareable and it is spreading.I can not turn my head to the left very well. Is this apart of "shingles"? Can it get in the inside of my body?

Answer : Hello Tina. The rash may affect any part of the body, including head and limbs. It may thus appear as a band around one side of the chest or abdomen, or down an arm or leg. It may affect the head, and when it affects the upper cheek or the side of the forehead it may also affect the eye. You should certainly see your doctor if you have shingles affecting the side of the head, and especially if it seems to affect the tip of your nose or the eye itself.
