Recently I Had Shingles With Pain On My Upper Left
Recently I had shingles with pain on my upper left chest, side and upper back. A week after the shingles rash begun, which was then scabbed and healing, I now have a quarter sized bruise on my left wrist and about five, large, bruise-like patches on my right upper thigh. All developed blisters that lasted for about 2-3 days, healed, but the bruise patches have not lightened. It's been 5 weeks when shingles pain started, 4 weeks since the shingles rash started and 3 weeks since the bruises appeared and have yet to shrink or lighten. The bruised area never hurt and was not from any contusion. Any thoughts if this is related or separate from shingles?
