Is shingles contagious before the rash breaks out?

Shingles cannot be transmitted from person to person but the chicken box virus that causes shingles can be passed on to someone who has never contracted the shingles virus before. When the shingles rash has developed it is contagious but is not likely to be passed to another person if it is covered up.


What is shingles and what are the signs and symptoms?

When the virus that causes chickenpox reactivates, it causes shingles. Early symptoms of shingles include headache, sensitivity to light, and flu-like symptoms without a fever. You may then feel itching, tingling, or pain where a band, strip, or small area of rash may appear several days or weeks later. A rash can appear anywhere on the body but will be on only one side of the body, the left or right. The rash will first form blisters, then scab over, and finally clear up over a few weeks. This band of pain and rash is the clearest sign of shingles.

Can shingles be spread through skin contact?

Shingles is an outbreak of the chicken pox virus that causes a rash on the skin. But before the rash shows up, and after the rash is gone, the virus affects the nerves leading to the skin. Right before the rash shows up, a person affected by shingles might feel an itchy, burny pain in that area. After the rash is gone, the patient might have pain or discomfort in that area for some time -- again, related to the nerve involvement and not the skin rash itself. So, to be precise, shingles always develops "under the skin." The skin symptoms make it easiest to diagnose, but it's not the skin symptoms that cause the greatest aggravation with shingles.

How does shingles appear?

Shingles is caused by the chicken pox virus. It is not common in children but does occasionally happen. The pain often precedes the rash. The rash will look like groups of little fluid filled vessicles on red bases that will follow one or a few nerves. One key to the diagnosis is that it will always be on one side of the body only except that it can slightly cross the midline in the back. If it is on both sides of the front it is unlikely to be shingles.
