Can diyalisis cause you to have a rash that looks like shingles?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be shingles: End-stage renal disease is immune compromising, which can predispose to shingles outbreaks, so might be that--which you need to tell your nephrologist about, as may transmit to others at dialysis. Could be other things as well for same reason, so really needs dr's evaluation.
