People already affected with Chickenpox are susceptible to shingles also known as zona or zoster. The difficult part is all the early symptoms of shingles can be easily mistaken for other illness. Shingles shows early signs of weakness, discomfort, severe pain, itching, numbness/tingling, extreme sensitivity to touch, headache, upset stomach, fever and chills for the first four days which are similar to when you have cold or flu.

After the fourth day your certain body part will begin to ache, prick or hurt and skin becomes very sensitive getting red and develops a bumpy rash. These rashes show visibility on face, torso, back, hips, neck, arms and legs. The problem aggravates when on the fifth day the rash turn into a blister that develops on the skin along a nerve. The nerve carries pain to the affected area which the patient can feel in varying degree from dull ache to intense shooting spasms. Medical assistance is necessary to get rid of this excruciating pain and oozing of blisters.
