Shingles Explained
Shingles is a painful blistering rash caused by the chickenpox virus waking up again in people who have had chickenpox.
What Can Cause Shingles
After chickenpox the varicella-zoster virus stays dormant in nerves; older age, stress and a weak immune system make it more likely to flare.
