How long are shingles contagious after taking medication?
Shingles is only contagious before the blisters and sores dry. Once they're scabbed over, the virus is not contagious. Remember that shingles can only be spread by direct contact with the lesions. You can't get shingles from someone unless you touch their wet lesions. You won't get it from riding a bus with them, eating with them, or being in the same room with them. Patients with shingles can continue normal activities, including school and work, as long as the lesions are covered.Children do not get attack of shingles before they get chicken pox. You get attack of shingles only after you have had chicken pox.

Can you have shingles between your legs and groin area?
About a week ago I awoke with a severe bruised feeling on the left side of my groin and noticed the beginings of a rash. In the next couple days the rash worsened so I went to the doctor. He informed me that it was shingles and that the rash followed along a nerve that wraps from the groin to the lower abdomen. From what Ive read online, not much has mentioned this as a common area for shingles. Still the doctor seemed sure that this is what it was.

Bell's palsy with pain and rash?
It could be Ramsey-Hunt Syndrome. The "pain and rash" referred to is too general to determine exactly what is meant, but it could mean the condition known as shingles. This syndrome a combination of shingles from the reactivated herpes zoster virus (chickenpox) in an area near the Facial Nerve. The rash and blisters cause an inflammation of that nerve which then causes Bell's Palsy. Of course, "pain and rash" as the question puts it is so general in nature it can mean anything. Pain where? Rash where? What kind of pain? What kind of rash? If the "pain and rash" is something other than shingles, then it is not Ramsey-Hunt Syndrome. It becomes academic, however, because the palsy is still Bell's Palsy as long as it was caused by damage to the Facial Nerve and not some other damage. If the shingles did cause the BP, then treating the shingles with anti-viral medications may speed recovery from the shingles and once the shingles are gone, so will the source of the nerve inflammation. That means that facial muscle movement will most likely return.
