What Are The Symptoms Of Shingles?

YYYY@YYYY I think my 16 yr old son has shingles has a rash on the left side of his back & it comes around under his armpit he s got a couple single sores that are to the left of his spine but those are already scabbed over. His football trainer says it s just a rash & it s fine but he keeps telling her they hurt really bad.

hello,
Shingles symptoms and signs include one-sided stabbing pain,tingling, itching, burning, or stinging sensation that precedes the appearance of the rash by a few days, headache, fever and chills,nausea,body aches, and fluid-filled blistering red rash, typically on the torso or face. IT would have been helpful if i could see the appearance of rashes. could you upload some photos.
apply lotion CALADRYL thrice daily over affected areas, maintain hygiene of that areas, best to avoid football during these days.
thanks...
