Blisters-Sensitivity To Touch: 10 Symptoms Of Shingles You Should Know

Shingles is a painful rash that is caused by the same varicella-zoster virus that triggers Chickenpox. 

As per reports, about 1 million people in the US are affected by Shingles each year.

Many people who get Shingles have been reported to have symptoms such as:

• Swollen lymph nodes
• Blisters that spontaneously open
• Sting pain
• Tingling feeling under your skin

• Sensitivity to touch
• Fever

• Chills
• Headache
• Upset stomach
• Fatigue

The World Health Organization (WHO) states anyone who has chickenpox can get shingles, although it is more common for those over the age of 50.

Shingles are not contagious but the virus can spread to someone who never has had Shingles leading to Chickenpox. 

CDC recommends to get vaccinated as per your age criteria.

Shingles last for at least 3-4 weeks, meanwhile, the blister takes up to 10 days to heal.
