Hi everybody. I had shingles a few months ago on my face ear and right side of my torso. The rash went away after a few weeks. The itching and headaches have lingered every since. That seems common by what I can find on the internet, but what is odd is that A couple if weeks ago I started to get bumps on my arms and legs that look a lot like chicken pox, but they don't itch (or at least rarely and not much) or pus. The rash has been spreading everywhere on my body, most recently my hands. It is on both sides of my body. I get several more bumps each day. It does not look like the rash I had with singles. Is this normal? Has anybody else experienced this.
