A member asked:
Can shingles rash go from shoulder across chest to other shoulder in front?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Shingles originates from a nerve root on one side of the body & can erupt along the distribution of that nerve.(on 1/2 of the body) If a rash crosses the midline in front or back the problem is not shingles.
