What Could Be The Reason For Having Swelling Under The Skin?
Hello, I am in my 30 s and had shingles earlier in the month. They have dried up, but now I have swelling under the skin where the outbreak started. It is not red, but is very itchy and at times painful. It is squishy, fluid-like. What is the most common cause?
