Can shingles start as just on small red spot on the waist? no pain there at all.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less likely: The blistering shingles rash usually appears as a band around one side of your waist area to your back, although it can occur anywhere on your body. You will likely feel a burning sensation or pain in the area before the rash appears. Shingles is less likly without pain.
