Shingles Causes, Symptoms and Treatment?
If you are one of the nine out of ten Americans who have had chickenpox, you are at risk for developing shingles. Shingles is a nasty, painful, viral rash caused by the varicella zoster virus, also known as herpes zoster, which is the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a case of chickenpox heals, the virus can hide in the body for many years, unnoticed, and, if reactivated later in life, can develop into a case of shingles. At least half of shingles cases are seen in people over the age of 60, but shingles can develop at any time with little or no warning. The reason for reactivation of the virus isn't clear but people with a weakened immune system because of other illnesses or medications like chemotherapy, seem to be at the highest risk. Because the main hiding place for the varicella virus is along nerve roots and pathways, an outbreak of the rash can be intensely painful. Vaccines can reduce the chances of developing shingles and early treatment can reduce the severity and duration of the infection. The first symptom a person may notice is pain, which can be intense. There may be tingling, or a localized area of numbness, generally on one side of the body. Several days later, a rash may develop in that same area, followed by a strip of fluid-filled blisters which will break, itch and crust over. While it's common to see these on the torso, they may also appear on one side of the neck or face, or around one eye. A person with shingles can pass the virus to anyone who isn't immune to chickenpox, however, in that person, the virus will cause chickenpox and not shingles. Ordinarily, the pain from shingles will decrease and go away as the blisters heal, but in some cases, the pain can continue long after the blisters are gone due to nerve damage caused by the virus. Shingles that occur on the face or around the eye can cause serious eye infections and vision loss. While there is no cure for shingles, prompt treatment with prescription anti-viral drugs can reduce the risk of complications and speed recovery, and since anti-viral drugs are most effective within the first 72 hours, it's important to be seen by the doctor as quickly as possible when symptoms appear. The shingles vaccine is available to people over the age of 50, and while it doesn't guarantee someone won't get shingles, it can help reduce the severity of symptoms, as well as the risk of complications.
What could a circular non-itchy skin-colored rash be on your 3-year-old's back that looks like little raised pimples?
My son had something very similar to this when he was about three. We think it came from his chickenpox vaccination. The rash was little red bumps with white heads that changed into a blister like rash. The doctor said it was shingles. Usually the only way to get shingles is to have chickenpox, but my son never had chicken pox. The only thing is that shingles in toddlers is virtually painless while in adults it is very painful and can last a long time. You should probably go to your doctor to make sure and keep him away from anyone who hasn't yet had the chicken pox. Good luck to you!
What if you got the second chickenpox vaccine less than three months after the first?
If you're thirteen or over, there is no harm in getting the second chickenpox vaccine as little as four weeks after the first. If you're under thirteen, you should repeat the second dose, as you should wait at least three months until the second dose.

Where does chickenpox virus lie dormant?
The chickenpox virus (varicella zoster virus) enters the body through the upper respiratory mucous membranes and reproduces for a little bit. The virus then moves to the lymph nodes, then to the bloodstream, and then the skin cells. Usually the first rash shows in the back or chest. the rash moves to the limbs, face, eyelids, and sometimes the mouth. After recovery, the virus remains in part of the spinal cord (the dorsal root ganglia) for the rest of your life.
