Chickenpox, the common childhood disease, is caused by the varicella-zoster virus (VZV). Once a person has had chickenpox, the virus lies dormant at the roots of nerves in the body. In later years, the varicella-zoster virus may become reactivated and travel along the sensory nerves into the skin, causing herpes zoster or shingles. Symptoms of shingles are very similar to those of chickenpox, wherein a painful rash may appear on the skin. The word "shingles" is derived from a Latin word meaning "girdle" or "belt", indicating the clustering of the rash in a broad band.Symptoms of ShinglesThe initial symptom of shingles is pain or extreme sensitivity in a wide band along one side of the body. The shingles sufferer may feel a burning, tingling, itching, deep, continuous, shooting or lightning bolt of pain. After one to three days, a rash may start to form. The rash consists of red bumps and blisters on the skin where pain is felt. These blisters are filled with pus and they pop and ooze after a week. It takes about a week for the blisters to dry up and form scabs. After two to three weeks, the scabs fall off and leave scars and brown discoloration on the skin.The...more

Shingles rash is a skin inflammation caused by varicella-zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox. Once an individual has had chickenpox, traces of the virus remain dormant in the nervous system and are never completely cleared from the body. Later on, certain conditions such as emotional stress, immune deficiency from AIDS or chemotherapy, or cancer may reactivate the virus and cause shingles. Adults over the age of 60 are more susceptible to shingles rash.Symptoms of Shingles RashIt is estimated that up to a million cases of shingles occur every year in the U.S. Before the rash becomes visible, the patient may experience several days of burning pain and sensitive skin. At this point, determining the cause of the pain may be difficult. Symptoms of shingles rash depend on the type of nerve affected by the virus. Although it is caused by chickenpox virus, the rash is different from chickenpox rash. Chickenpox affects most areas of the body, while shingles rash affects a specific area of the skin, usually occurring as a band on one side of the body. The rash usually forms on the chest, back and face.A rash from shingles appears as small blisters on a red base...more
