A member asked:

Shingles on both side of the body at the same time, what could be wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Shingles: Shingles in more than one are of the body can just be "dumb luck" or it can be the sign of a problem with the immune system. Only your doctor can answer that question for sure. You need to be examined.
