What Are The Symptoms Of Shingles?

how does shingles start to appear? A couple of days ago I felt what felt like a looked like a misquito bite. This morning I have what looks like a red whelp. Itches some but cortisone helped that, but the area hurts like a sore spot when you bump something.

Hello,
Shingles usually starts with intense pain. this can occur before the rash. The rash can begin as small red bumps but ultimately the rash turns into blisters.
Shingles usually occurs on only one side of the body at a time.
