yes. there is a correlation. chicken pox shingles and other forms of herpes (cold sores/fever blisters and even genital herpes) are all caused by the same herpes virus.
i have had chickenpox and have herpes is there any correlation between herpes and shingles? . i have not had any outbreaks from herpes since i contracted it. my father had shingles i am 59 years old. thank you.
