Do you have a painful, blistering rash on one side of the body? It may be shingles.
Shingles is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. It leads to a painful, blistering rash often in a single stripe. Early treatment can prevent complications like postherpetic neuralgia.
