A case of shingles can last for up to a few weeks or more. The early symptoms include pain, itching, tingling, or a burning sensation at one location on the body, such as one side of the waist or face. A few days after these symptoms begin, the skin on the afflicted body part develops fluid-filled blisters.
For those people who experience the initial tingle, burn, itch, or pain, the Shingles rash appears on the skin in the same area. The rash is usually red and blistering and can last up to 30 days. Most often, the rash occurs as a band or strip on a single side of the body.
