Could Itchy And Painful Blisters Around The Breasts Indicate Shingles?

Can I get shingles even if I had the shot for shingles. I have blisters on my right side above bra line in back and cleavage in front. They are itchy and painful. I was picking up some dry yard waste and the dust blew on me. That was when I first noticed it, but now I think maybe the rash was already there and the dust just just irritated it.

Hello,

As per my clinical experience, the shingles reactivation possible over a period of time after the shingles shot also. If the blisters are involving one side of the body, including one neurological segment supplied by single nerve segment, shingles is most seeming possibility. However, if you can provide me a photo pic of the blisters during follow up discussion, I can help certainly in more details.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
