Shingles is a skin complaint caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox - the herpes zoster virus. Shingles occurs as a painful rash on the body and face.
A burning sensation on the skin may be experienced as the rash begins to develop. A few days after pain begins, the patient may become feverish and their lymph glands may become enlarged. When the rash appears, it resembles the chickenpox rash, although it generally covers a smaller area of skin. The rash affects a strip of skin overlying one nerve, most commonly on the trunk. The blisters burst and become sores after another few days. They then take a couple of weeks to scab over. Sometimes, the area that the rash covered becomes tender and painful even after the scabs have healed. The sensation is particularly unpleasant, and is known as post-herpetic neuralgia.
