Symptoms of Shingles
Most people have some of the
following symptoms.
• Burning, tingling, or numbness of
the skin
• Feeling sick—chills, fever, upset
stomach, or headache
• Fluid-filled blisters
• Skin that is sensitive to touch
• Mild itching to strong pain
Shingles follows a pattern. A few
days after the tingling or burning
feeling on the skin, a red rash will
come out on your body, face, or
neck. In a few days, the rash will
turn into fluid-filled blisters. The
blisters dry up and crust over
within several days. The rash
usually happens on one side of the
body. Most cases of shingles last
from 3 to 5 weeks.
