Sometimes, when a person gets chickenpox, the virus will “hide” inside nerves long after the person’s chickenpox sores have healed, and it will reappear later as shingles. Only people who have had chickenpox or the chickenpox vaccine can get it. Shingles starts out as a painful rash in one part of the body, and it can cause problems such as nerve pain that can last for years. It cannot spread from person to person, but if someone has a shingles infection, they can spread chickenpox to someone who has never had chickenpox before.
