    Painful skin rash with blisters usually in one general area on only one side of the body. This is a herpesvirus (herpes zoster), the same virus that causes chicken pox in children. Reactivation of the chicken pox virus(herpes varicella-zoster), which remained in the body after the person had chickenpox. occurs. Painful blisters follow the underlying route of cranial or spinal nerves around the trunk of the body.

    Shingles are caused by the chickenpox virus.

    Usually a small red rash in a line along a nerve pathway.  Immediate medicare is urgent
