Are Red Rashes On The Neck A Symptom Of Shingles?
my husband has type 2 diabetes. he had a shingles shot less than a month ago. a doctor visit yesterday revealed that the red bumpy welts on his neck are likely shingles. my question is can the shingles shot actually irritate an already weak immune system? he will return to an on-call doctor tomorrow.

Hello,
Consult a dermatologist and get evaluated to confirm the diagnosis. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, antiviral drugs like Zovirax have to be evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
