    show more
    Description: Shingles, also called herpes zoster or zona, gets its name from both the Latin and French words for belt or girdle and refers to girdle-likeskin eruptions that may occur on the trunk of the body. The virus that causes chickenpox, the varicella zoster virus (VSV), can becomedormant in nerve cells after an episode of chickenpox and later reemerge as shingles. Initially, red patches of rash develop into blisters.Because the virus travels along the nerve to the skin, it can damage the nerve and cause it to become inflamed. This condition can be verypainful. If the pain persists long after the rash disappears, it is known as postherpetic neuralgia.
