Causes Of Shingles

Shingles is a painful skin rash caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox. After a person gets chicken pox, the chicken pox virus does not leave the body. Instead it lives in the nervous system in a dormant and inactive condition. When the virus becomes active in the nervous system, it causes shingles.
