So shingles is caused by a type of virus called Human Herpes Virus 3 which also causes chickenpox. Chickenpox is a generalized infection which involves the whole body causes fever etc. whereas shingles is restricted to one dermatome. Dermatome is an area of skin that is supplied by a single nerve. So chickenpox will affect either one of the thoracic nerves, one of the lumbar nerves. These are nerves that come out of the spine. So the rashes of the chickenpox affects the skin which involves that particular nerve. So usually the distribution of these rashes gives us an idea about shingles. Off late we are having vaccines for shingles as well. So chickenpox vaccines were available earlier now we have seen that shingles can occur even in those who are vaccinated with chickenpox. So we have separate booster process called shingles vaccines available to prevent shingles as well. So shingles are seen when the body's immunity comes down so it might be during a very stressful period, it might be in old age or it might be due to other infections like diabetes and HIV which can reduce the immunity. Sometimes shingles can spread to the entire body in immunocompromised people. Immunocompromised people are those whose immunities are completely destroyed like HIV patients or cancer patients. To know more about shingles, its treatment please contact a dermatologist near you.
