Brief Answer:
Regarding Shingles

Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to Ask a doctor service. I have reviewed your query.

Shingles vaccine is a live virus. Rarely it may itself cause Shingles.

I request you to kindly upload a few Images of the affected area in "Reports Section" so that I am able to have a look and guide you accordingly.

Hope to assist you further once I get the Images.
