Quick Background Info

Shingles, or herpes zoster, is caused by the reactivation of the chickenpox virus (varicella-zoster virus). If you’ve had chickenpox in the past, there&#;s a possibility that the virus will lie dormant in your nerve tissue and will reactivate someday in the form of shingles.

This means you cannot get shingles unless you’ve had chickenpox before.

Now, over 95% of people have been infected by the chickenpox virus in their life, so chances are that includes you. But if you know you&#;ve never had chickenpox, then your rash isn&#;t shingles.
