Shingles- a viral infection affecting nerves. Should I be talking to a dermatologist or a neurologist? I may have shingles on the top side of my right foot near the toes. It has been itching/burning and has developed blisters and the foot has swollen. I m told they only occur on back or sometimes on the eyes. I am going to the local clinic tomorrow and would like to know what I should ask or expect from the doctor..
