I'm 54 yrs old i have nerve pain, how do i know when i have shingles.

Typically after pain: tingling or burning you will develop tiny blister in what is called a dermatomal distribution (usually in a strip that comes to the midline of the body. The minute you see any rash I would get in to see derm for quick diagnosis and prescription drugs
