Are Shingles Contagious?
How contagious is shingles?
I will call the dr. Tomorrow, rash is exactly like the internet pictures, has been coming on for days. I thought my hand was chapped, from weather, tingled, sore, but no amount of cream helped. Tonight it looks similar to poison ivy blisters. Still sore, but I'm concerned because I babysat grand kids tonight.....am I contagious? Kids ages 9, 6, 18 mos.. YYYY@YYYY ! Diana
