Contact dermatitis itself does not directly activate shingles, as shingles is caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus, which lies dormant in nerve tissues after a previous chickenpox infection. However, if contact dermatitis leads to significant skin irritation or a weakened immune response, it might create an environment where a person is more susceptible to reactivation of the virus. Stress or injury to the skin can also potentially trigger shingles in some individuals. It's always best to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice.
