Shingles spots

5 replies

My DS has a small patch of 5 spots on his tummy, on one side. Said they were itchy, no pain or any other symptoms. I've ruled out nearly everything else but shingles. He has immunity to chicken pox and has had shingles before but had more spots than this. They are not blistering though - just raised and red with a dot in the middle. I would try and get a GP appt but they are as rare as hens teeth round here. He has a hospital appt this week and I shouldn't take him if shingles. Anyone know of shingles spots that don't blister or get fluid filled?

Take him to a pharmacy tomorrow- our local Morrisons pharmacist was able to diagnose my DC's shingles recently.

My son had shingles at six and his three year old sister caught chickenpox from it. I would try and get a doctor’s appointment if l were you.

Also, my son had shingles for a second time a few months later so it is possible.
