What to do if you have - or suspect you have - shingles

Published November 18, 2025

Shingles occurs when the dormant chickenpox virus reactivates, causing tingling, burning, and a painful, blistering rash. Shingles can affect anyone who has had chickenpox, with higher risk after age 50 and in people with weakened immunity. Diagnosis and treatment within three days of the rash appearing can shorten the illness and reduce severity.

Vaccination is the best way to prevent shingles and its complications.
