In theory, you could go back to work as soon as you feel well enough. I felt reasonably ok after about 4 days, despite having a red rash over my face & glandular swelling. However, this will vary from person to person. Some people will have more pain than others & may not feel well for several weeks. It's worth noting, however, that until your blisters have stopped weeping, you will be contagious & may give your colleagues chicken pox, if they have not previously had the disease.

Can you go out in the sun with shingles?
Shingles is a virus, in the same family as chicken-pox. If you have it, you may feel uncomfortable, but you can certainly work. On the other hand, you may be contagious, which is something to consider before going to work. You cannot give shingles to another person, but you can transmit the virus, especially to a person who never had chicken-pox. The best thing is to get vaccinated to prevent this disease, and if you do get it, to follow your doctor's instructions.

What happens if a pregnant lady gets smallpox?
A person with shingles needs to take precautions around a pregnant woman without evidence of immunity to chicken pox. The pregnant woman should discuss the matter with her health care provider, who may have checked immunity at the preconception visit or a prenatal visit. Because typical shingles is communicable only by direct contact with lesions, even health care workers with typical shingles (not severe) are allowed to work as long as the sores can be covered.
