I believe my seven year old has shingles, pretty sure it's shingles because of the classic blister formation around her upper back underarm which carries forward into the chest half way around her front in a direct line. She is in pain and we are dabbing these clusters with calamine lotion, given her an oatmeal bath and spray her with colloidal silver every hour. My concern is this is our second child to develop shingles after having chicken pox. I assumed in our first child that he was just immune compromised. However now I'm not as accepting of this theory. Are you seeing an increase in shingles with children?
