Shingles is a viral infection that causes a painful, blistering rash. While it can appear anywhere on the body, it most often shows up as a stripe of blisters wrapping around one side of the torso.
Common signs and symptoms include:
Pain, burning, numbness, or tingling
Sensitivity to touch
A red rash that develops a few days after the pain begins
Fluid-filled blisters that break open and crust over
Itching
