Symptoms of shingles and what to look out for?

Shingles is an infection which causes a painful red rash. The NHS says people should call Get 111 as soon as symptoms appear.

The first signs of shingles can be:

• a tingling or painful feeling in an area of skin

• a headache or feeling generally unwell

A rash will appear a few days later.

Usually you get the shingles rash on your chest and tummy, but it can appear anywhere on your body including on your face, eyes and genitals.

The rash appears as blotches on your skin, on one side of your body only. A rash on both the left and right of your body is unlikely to be shingles.
