      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.
