Do shingles blister always burst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Vesicles in shingles (varicella zoster) often resorb on their own. They may burst , usually self-induced due to the severe itching. Earlt treatment is crucial, because after the reash and vesicles disappear, you can be left with post -herpetic neuralgia.
