I can't answer from a medical standpoint, but my mom and I have always had "shingles". It used to occur around my lips and mouth, but for the past few years of my life I have it (or a variation of it?) occur in my nose.

So I'm assuming it is possible.

Answer 5

No. In fact, the only thing that you can get shingles from is your own body. The herpes zoster virus which causes shingles is actually the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus DNA will remain dormant in your nervous system. Decades later, for reasons not entirely understood, this virus can become active again and cause shingles.

However, even though you can't catch shingles from shingles, you can catch chickenpox from shingles. If someone who doesn't have immunity to chickenpox comes in contact with a person with shingles, there is a good chance that they will catch the virus, and it will develop into chickenpox.
