yes they do. the skin itches some before the rash shows up and during the rash and also when the scabs are present.
do shingles itch? . this past tuesday tiny "bumps" appeared in what felt like a small circle in the lower center part of my back. they began to spread very quickly and itch. the "bumps" now hurt slightly to touch and i noticed that sitting in the seat of my car is very uncomfortable if pressure is exerted in that area. . i don't know that this is shingles but i'm not sure that it isn't. can you provide any help/information? . . thanks!
