A member asked:
I have shingles in my back & i have quite a few raised sores. is this normal as i thought it should be more flat red?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shingles can be raised, especially before the sores open and crust over. There is treatment for this so hopefully your doctor has prescribed a treatment to decrease the discomfort and promote healing quickly. Good luck!
