Is it nornal to have shingles back of my knee?

Possible: Shingles occurs wherever it will. Back of knee is certainly possible and a whole lot better than face or genitals.

Shingles: Shingles can impact the knee but I am not sure specifically about the back of the knee. See: https://www.livestrong.com/article/243529-knee-pain-from-shingles/

Shingles can: impact any part of your skin that has a nerve distribution from your spinal cord (dermatome). So the back of your knee is just as susceptible to shingles than the rest of your body. Thanks for trusting in HEalthTap.
