What Causes Itching In The Abdominal Area?
I had the vacine several yrs. ago. Recently, my abdomin really itched. Then I had the rash of about 3 by 5 to the right of my bellybutton on my rt side. It is fading, but still a littchy. However, I have been having not exactly a rash, but red bumps that appear each morning on my face. By the end of the day they are better (i hide them with makeup). I ve never had skin problems & wonder if this is a side effect of my shingles?

Hi,
Shingles present with intense pain along with itching and rash.
Most probably it might be a superficial fungal infection. As the first line of management, you can apply a topical antifungal ointment like Clotrimazole for symptomatic relief.
If persists, better to consult a dermatologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
