What Does Shingles Look Like In The Beginning I Have A Question About {possible} Shingles In A Teenager......?

I have a question about {possible} shingles in a teenager......? - what does shingles look like in the beginning

My 15 years gets a rash on his hand that looks as if this could be the start of shingles. Itch, but also very painful. I met about 2 cm below the skin rash and it did much to hurt. I took him to the doctor tomorrow to find out exactly what it is, but I wonder if anyone knows the first signs and symptoms of shingles. Any help would be appreciated. I have his photo and a description of what it is, but really not in great detail how it feels when you get it. Is there anything I can do to make you feel better tonight?

My daughter once shingles .... and yes, they had chickenpox as a child.

She describes her beginnings as a very painful burning sensation in the area exploded.

You are right to take her to a doctor. About the best thing you can do is touch something from the environment, while for tonight and maybe keep some Tylenol too.

I can not believe that people with medical questions in a forum like this!

If you are so concerned about their health and well-being that the doctor and is diagnosed by someone with over a laptop and a smiley!

I do not think you can find some room, unless you have had chicken pox, so that if it had not been, then a rash or an allergic reaction.
