A member asked:
Can you get shingles on the palms of your hands? and does it come in a cluster or single bumps?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extremely rare: It is most likely pomphylox (or dishydrotic eczema). This is more common if your hands are wet alot. Shingles is usually painful and typiclaly occurs on the trunk. To be sure, see a dermatologist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Good luck!
