	Early signs of shingles include burning or shooting pain and tingling or itching generally located on one side of the body or face.
	The pain can be severe.
	1-3 days after the pain starts, a rash with raised, red bumps and blisters erupt on the skin in the same distribution as the pain. They become pus-filled, then scab over by 10-12 days.
	The rash disappears as the scabs fall off in the next 2-3 weeks, and scarring may result.
	Most common in people over age 50
	If you have had chickenpox, you are at risk for developing shingles.
	Shingles is also more common in people with weakened immune systems and under stress.
