Hi
Welcome to the forum!
Largely no. Shingles starts with shooting pain and pain may occur after the rash. Hence shingles occurs with pain only most of the time. Shingles without rash is common.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Can I take a bath with shingles? I was diagnosed with shingles today. They presented on the lower buttocks and just shy of my anal sphincter, and are causing me intense pain.  Any suggestions on specific care of these areas?
Thanks,
Dahlia

Hi
Welcome to the forum!
Yes, you can take bath when you have shingles. Pat the affected area dry. Then apply the creams prescribed. Take your medicines regularly. At times cold compress helps take care of pain. Maintain good person hygiene.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
