Shingles
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is shingles?
Shingles -- also called varicella-zoster -- is a painful skin
disease caused by a reactivation of the chickenpox virus. It is
distinctive because it affects only one side of the body. The early
signs of shingles usually develop in three stages: severe pain or
tingling, possibly itchy rash, and blisters that look like
chickenpox.
