If you have had chickenpox, you can contract shingles. Shingles cause a painful rash with fluid filled blisters that lasts a few weeks. However the pain sometimes persists for months or even years. The virus that causes chickenpox stays in your body and can reactivate at any time during your life. If you think you have shingles, consult a doctor immediately. Rapid treatment, especially within the first three days of getting the rash, can reduce the duration and severity of the illness. Vaccination is recommended for everyone, age 50 and over.
