Shingles is a condition affecting the nerves. It is related to the virus that causes Chicken Pox and the virus lies dormant in the body. Later, shingles erupt, usually in specific areas of the body.
Because the chicken pox virus remains dormant after a child has had pox, shingles can occur once or repeatedly. The first outbreak usually occurs after middle-age or older.
