My husband has a place on his left wrist about 2 in. across, very red and big watery blisters. It burns, itches and hurts. He thinks it is shingles. Could it be! He has had this two times in the pass 9 mo. but this is the first time he has had the blisters.

Hello,

Shingles pop out for any stress full situation. He can have valcyclovir full course after consulting a dermatologist for confirmation of diagnosis.

Herpres zoster virus resides in the nerves and any situation which lowers our immunity will trigger its onset.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sandeep Golla
