Shingles are caused by the varicella-zoster virus - the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person recovers from chickenpox, the virus lies dormant in the body. In some people, the virus reactivates later on in their life. This becomes Shingles. This severe skin condition causes scars, blisters, and other symptoms that can be uncomfortable and painful.
