What Complications Can Occur With Shingles Disease?
Once the rash and blisters associated with shingles disease subside, some people may continue to experience pain, stinging sensations, and itching for weeks and months. Others may also have numbness and reduced sensitivity to pressure based stimulus. If you have any of these symptoms after the main skin eruptions are gone, it is important to tell your doctor. Depending on the severity, he/she may refer you to a dermatologist or a neurologist for more effective symptom management.
