    When I told my doctor that my shingles return quite regularly he said it couldn' t be shingles....must be impetigo. But it's not impetigo....sometimes there's no rash just a sharp pain.  Remember as a kid giving "snake bites buy twisting the skin on someone's arm? That's the pain from shingles....a searing pain, almost like the skin is ripping.
