Betty asks…
Would the rash and sores from shingles leave scars?
My little brother(well he is 19) is in in the hospital. They think its shingles. I haven’t heard anymore than that. I looked up what causes the disease. But will he have scars and stuff from this?
As I said, he is in the hospital and is 3 hours away from me. I had to hear this from his X who lives out on the coast. I am so very worried about him. If he is still there doesn’t that mean there is something to worry about?
Ok now I found out he told Bee that its deadly or could be… Please tell me that is not true and he is exaggerating!

He may have residual scarring, but more important is what we call “post-herpetic neuropathy”. That pain can last a year or more. Ask his doctors for lidoderm patches when he is discharged if he still has pain
