i can't tell you what you have (not enough information and no ability to examine you) but i can tell you that shingles does not occur on both sides of the face. shingles closely follows a nerve pathway and those pathways never cross the midline of the face. they stay on just one side. if your primary care medical provider has not been able to properly diagnose you then you may need to see a dermatologist.
can shingles appear on both sides of the face? . my blisters are concentrated at my hairline upper lip nose (which is very swollen ) and both of my cheeks. i do not have a fever or chills but do have an upset stomach. i have tingling pain and itching at the same time. if not shingles what else could it be?
