Shingles is caused by the varicella-zoster virus — the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you’ve had chickenpox, the virus stays in your body for the rest of your life. Years later, the virus may reactivate as shingles.

Having shingles won’t put your life at risk, but it can be super painful.

Early treatment may shorten a shingles infection and lessen the chance of complications. One common troublemaker is postherpetic neuralgia, a lingering pain that hangs around even after your shingles blisters have called it quits.

Shingles typically presents with early signs like localized pain, itching, or tingling, followed by a rash or blisters. You may also develop:

  • a headache
  • sensitivity to light
  • general fatigue

Shingles typically appears as a red rash that evolves into clusters of fluid-filled blisters. The rash is usually confined to one side of the body and follows the path of a nerve. As the blisters break open and crust over, they can be accompanied by pain and itching.
