It does seam strange at his age, and never having chicken pox that he should now have shingles, if you are worried you should talk to your doctor again, There is more on shingles here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingles

It's impossible to get shingles without exposure to the chicken pox virus, so if you are positive that your son hasn't had chicken pox, then he can't have shingles. It must be something else. Get a refferal to a dermatologist to run tests on the rash.

Please look for a product marketed as SAMBUCOL. it comes in a syrup like cough syrup. it's very sweet and tastes good so kids will take it. it is made from the extract of the sambucos niger plant. this extract can prevent viruses from replicating. you can start researching here: http://www.truthquest2.com/sambucol.htm i'd also highly recommend immunoplexAV from www.healingleaves.com blessings

If he had the chix pox vaccine that may be the cause for the latent form of herpes zoster...or, shingles. Don't worry, he will be fine...while it is oozing be careful not to contaminate other parts of his body or yours..it is a contact precaution while oozing.

I am 64 and have never had the Chicken Pox or Shingles. I watch ever move i make, especially around young children and kindergartens. Has your son ever been immunized for Chicken Pox? If so, your doctor is using the next step, Shingles, to describe your sons illness. Your doctor assumes the immunization worked for Chicken Pox and the next associated disease is Shingles.

Based on what I know of the varicella-zoster virus (the virus behind chicken pox and shingles), one of two things are probably behind your son's shingles: 1- He may have been exposed and had a subclnical case of chicken pox that you took for a mild cold or didn't even notice. 2- Has he been vaccinated for chicken pox? The chicken pox vaccine is a live-virus vaccine, meaning that it contains live specimens of the varicella-zoster virus. So essentially, if he's been vaccinated, your son *Has* had chicken pox. Shingles is a re-activation of the varicella-zoster virus, so it usually only happens to a person once they've gotten old enough for their immunity to wear off and their immune system to wear down with age, but with the chicken pox vaccine, the immunity is synthetic and wears off in a matter of years or even months (which is why you're told to get it on a regular basis), leaving people prone to shingles at a *Much* younger age. If your son has been vaccinated for chicken pox in the past, that may well be the cause of his shingles now.
