I am 46 and this is my second shingles bout in less then a year. i have been on anti virils for 3 days and it has crossed my midline. all over my ches?

Shingles: Recurrence in shingles is not common bu may occur. Also, rarely it may cross the mid line but should not spread all over the chest. Are you diabetic or on any immunosuppressive medications that may predispose to a more virulent course?
