A member asked:
Have i had shingles for six months or is it somthing more sinister ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably neither: Pain following shingles (post herpetic neuropathy) can go on for months or years. But shingles rash rarely if ever lasts so long. Most skin rashes are not very "sinsiter". See a doctor about it, after which you probably will be reassured and can stop worrying. Good luck!
