A member asked:
I was recently diagnosed with half of what i expected after some research: shingles and scabies. could the scabies have triggered the shingles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hmmm....: A person can have scabies, or can have shingles, or can have both scabies and shingles. Haven't heard of scabies causing shingles, nor shingles causing scabies. Likely just a coincidence if having both at the same time.
