She seems well in herself and has been full of energy but under a lot of stress as her Dad has been in hospital for nearly three weeks and needs major heart surgery.
She has a patch of red rash with bumps, no blisters, in line with back fold of armpit.
It's been very itchy. Today she has a new patch further along the line of her rib.
Should I be worried about shingles in somebody so young? School nurse says she sees four or five a year - I was surprised.
She will be devastated as it means she won't be allowed to visit her Dad.
Any experience anyone?
