Can One Have Shingles Without a Rash?
The two most characteristic symptoms of shingles are pain following a nerve along one side of the body and a rash that follows the path of that nerve. However, some people develop shingles without a rash; this is a condition known as zoster sine herpeticum (or herpete). Others may develop a rash that is overlooked because it is so small; this is a condition known as zoster cum herpete minimo.
