4. Shingles
Shingles are caused by the chickenpox virus. After a bout of chickenpox, the viral infection stays in the nerve cells and can reactivate years later, leading to a painful abdominal rash. People with weak immune systems and those over age 50 are more likely to experience shingles.
Other symptoms can include burning, numbness and tingling of the skin where the nerves are affected, chills, fever, headaches and fluid-filled blisters. Each case is different, but it can last for three to five weeks.4‘Shingles.’ National Institute on Aging, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, www.nia.nih.gov/health/shingles.
