Could Nerve Pain In Hips With Fluid Filled Blisters Suggest Shingles?
hello, i am a 32 year old female, for the past 3 days i have had what i describe as nerve pain that started in my hip and then wrapped around my right leg down to my foot. My skin is painful to light touch. Then after 2 or three days i develope a quarter sized rash with fluid filled blisters. I have had previous incidences like this about a year ago before i had my second child. I am concerned its shingles. The rash always appears in the same spot depending on what leg is hurting. My right leg i get a rash on my pubic area....my left, the rash appears above the knee.

Thank you for query.By the symptoms suggested it appears that you get recurrent blisters in both lower limbs.shingles is known for its recurrence as it remains dormant in the nerves.It is better you get investigated with a doctor for diagnosis and further investigation for any other cause of recurrence
