If the shingles are buckled they need to be removed before applying new ones. If they are in fair shape, then keep the old shingles on if there is only one layer.

Can you catch shingles from an adult who is infected with shingles?

A person with shingles can pass the virus to anyone who hasn't had chickenpox before. A person who has not had chickenpox can become infected through direct contact with a person who is infected with shingles. After becoming infected, the person will develop chickenpox, but not shingles. The infection can be very serious for people who have a compromised immune system. However, a person with a normal immune system who has already had chickenpox cannot be infected with shingles. If a person has not previously had the chickenpox, it is best to avoid contact with any person who is infected with shingles until the infection has cleared the person completely.
