[|Human|] I have constant pain seemingly related to my shingles. Now originally the site of my rash, though unusual, is a spot at the end of my tailbone with which it caused shooting, tingling, burning pain before and continue for months and months after. I really cant say that I actually ever got relief, I m just being optimistic!! Is this possible #1? #2) I have been having recurring pustules that do not ooze or pop, that seem to be directly related to a nerve ending in my scalp and hairline along with constant headache and nausua. Could these flares be also related to shingles because it really feels to me like a shingles rash. Oh and there may be a slight clear substance I could get out if I tried but very little and very tender to the touch. If not shingles, what is your best guest. This is very painful, irritating and distracting condition, please help...
[|AI|]  Hi, I have read your query & yes the recurrent pustules, itching, pain, prickling skin, rash are symptoms of Shingles. Visit ER, get physically examines, get STD tests done.  You should start on the antivirals & antibiotics without delay. The rashes on the scalp often cause a headache, nausea & then fever.  If neglected the immune system will further get weakened may complicate to Herpes Zoster spreading & affecting the eye. Such infections cause corneal damage & vision problems later in life.  Get connected to your PCP, he may need to give you stronger nerve blocks, medications & painkillers. Take nourishing diet & Vitamin supplements. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
