Shingles ??: Blisters on one side of body especially in older people are suspicious for SHINGLES( Herpes Zoster). If skin is red with several scattered bluster like painful lesions - see MD for treatment . Consider immunization ( Shingrix - Shingle shot ) to prevent future outbreaks and prevent pain ( neuralgia ).
