What Causes Shingles Underneath The Breasts With Back Pain?

I HAVE BEEN GETTING A SMALL PATCH OF SHINGLES ON MY BUTT CHEEK SINCE I HAVE BEEN 26. I GET THEM WHEN I AM STRESSED ABOUT SOMETHING OR AM GETTING ILL. I HAVE A VERY STRONG IMMUNE SYSTEM. I GET SICK MAYBE TWICE A YEAR WITH A COLD. I WORK IN AN EMERGENCY ROOM. I AM CURRENTLY 43 YEARS OLD AND NOW HAVE DEVELOPED SHINGLES UNDERNEATH BY BREAST AND HAVE PAIN IN MY BACK. AM I AT HIGHER RISK FOR DEVELOPING DIABETES? I NOTICED THAT DIABETES CAN BE A CAUSE OF SHINGLES

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Diabetes is said to be a state that can lower your immunity. It could be the reason for activation of shingles. however, it is not a necessity. It could be any other reason like fevers, stress, other causes of lower immunity. For your satisfaction you could get a Random Blood sugar done.
But you are not at higher risk of developing diabetes coz of Shingles.
