A member asked:
Please could you confirm what symptoms i would have for shingles. i suspect i may have it near to the corner of my right eye. also, is it hereditary?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not hereditary: Shingles is due to activation of the chicken pox virus. If you did not have chicken pox, you do not have shingles. Visit this site for symptoms of shingles. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/shingles/symptoms-causes/syc-20353054 It is not hereditary.
