A member asked:
Does shingles always present itself with a rash on the skin ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes zoster: Signs and symptoms of shingles usually affect a small section of one side of your body. These may include pain, burning, numbness or tingling. A red rash often begins a few days after the pain and forms fluid-filled blisters that break open and crust over along with Itching. There are some people who only develop pain and itching but this is uncommon.
