What are the Symptoms? The Shingles rash is marked by fluid-filled blisters in one area of the body. The rash can be painful.

How does Shingles start:
The first signs of Shingles may include an itching, tingling, burning, or painful feeling.
Usually this feeling will only be on one side of your body or one side of your face.
A few days later, you can expect to see a rash appear on the same area of your skin.
