Shingles rashPhotograph courtesy of John Bezzant, MD. All
rights reserved. Available online: http://medlib.med.utah.edu/ Shingles is a viral infection that may cause pain,
burning, or a tingling sensation on either the left or right side of the body.
Several days or weeks later, a band, strip, or small area of rash usually
appears in the same area and progresses into blisters, which scab over before
clearing up over the next few weeks. ByHealthwise Staff
