A member asked:
Is there a way to tell the difference between a fever blister and shingles when the outbreak is on the bridge of the nose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
How many blisters?: If there is only one blister, it is unlikely to be shingles. If there are multiple blisters and extend to both sides of the mid-line, it is not shingle.
