Shingles (Herpes Zoster) Symptom Tracker: Your Health Assistant

Living with Herpes Zoster means dealing with pain, burning, numbness, or tingling (often precedes rash), sensitivity to touch, red rash that begins a few days after the pain, and more. But here's the truth: Data is your most powerful tool. Every logged symptom reveals patterns—so you can take informed action.

Shingles is a painful rash caused by the reactivation of the varicella-zoster virus (VZV), the same virus that causes chickenpox. It typically affects a single stripe of skin (dermatome) on one side of the body. Tracking pain levels, rash progression, and medication effectiveness is key, especially for preventing complications like postherpetic neuralgia (PHN).
