Is It Possible To Get Shingles On Genital Area?
Is it possible to get shingles on your genital area? I have blisters on my genitals and am feeling tingling sensations on my lower to mid-back areas. Do shingle outbreaks look similar to genital herpes? I went to the octor and eh aid they look like herpatic lesions. He prescribed a anti-viral medication. I m curious. I ve been monogamous for years and have had only two sexual partners in over 13 years. I ve read online that the first outbreak usually occurs 2-15 days after initial exposure and sometimes longer.

Shingles can occurs anywhere in the body, but here looking to the history given here this may not be shingles, but could be some kind of skin infection, in my opinion this nee to be managed conservatively, this come around, no need be too much conscious for this, just take this easy, take care.
