Hello, Anon.

Thank you for posting.

Do you mean numbness? Shingles (herpes zoster) are an outbreak of rash or blisters on the skin that is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox - the varicella-zoster virus.

The first sign of shingles is often burning or tingling pain, or sometimes numbness, in or under the skin. You may also feel ill with fever, chills, headache, or upset stomach. After several days, a rash of small fluid-filled blisters, reminiscent of chickenpox, appears on reddened skin. A sensation of pins and needles is also common.
