What is Shingles?

Shingles happens when the chickenpox virus, which stays dormant in the body after infection, becomes active again later in life. It commonly affects older adults or people with weakened immune systems. The rash usually appears as a strip of blisters on one side of the body, often with pain or tingling before the rash starts.
