Can You Get The Shingles Rash On Your Scalp And Temple?

Answer Question

3 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Yes, and on the scalp. Shingles is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox (Varicella-Zoster Virus VZV) which can remain dormant in a person until middle age when it reappears to cause shingles. Nothing to worry about though it can be painful at the time. (Spellings correct,  Blurtit moderator please note.)

      Yes you can, the most common place for shingles to pop out is around the waist line, but they will come out on other parts of your body, the last time i  had shingles it was my shoulder blade area and rib cage.

        Yes, you can get shingles anywhere. Once you have had them you will be more prone to get them again but not necessarily in the same place.
