General Surgeon 's  Response
Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the itching rashes over whole body do not indicate possible shingles as that are restricted to particular dermatomal regions of the body rather than systemic spread. The chicken pox or measles is the prime possibility. However, a detailed history of prodromal symptoms of cough, corrhyza, conjuctivitis and systemic examination are vital parameters needed to get the in depth analysis of the condition and guide accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
