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.

You appear to be confused about the nature of shingles. A positive varicella titer shows that you have had chickenpox in the past, or that you have had the vaccine for chickenpox.

Discuss with your health care provider whether shingles vaccine makes sense for you.
