Hello,

Shingles pop out for any stress full situation. He can have valcyclovir full course after consulting a dermatologist for confirmation of diagnosis.

Herpres zoster virus resides in the nerves and any situation which lowers our immunity will trigger its onset.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
