Thanks to my patient for allowing me to use her photo to talk about a common condition known as Shingles. The medical name is herpes zoster and it is caused by the re-activation of the chickenpox virus (varicella zoster). This crazy virus lays dormant in the nerves and something causes it to flare up years or decades later.
