I had shingles in my mid 20s. It went from my forehead down the side of my face and around my eye. It was painful and the sores were ugly. I still have the scars on my forehead and I’m pushing 60. For over 15 years I still felt the nerves acting up. It mostly felt like a continuous sensation of a thread being pulled through my skin. Other times like a bee sting.

Ouch. The face is an awful place to get it.

I had shingles on my face last year. The doctor sent me to the emergency room for antiviral IV’s.

I had mine from my right eye up except for one sore in the middle of my nose. I was 60+ and have many scars. Itching in my eyebrows all the time.
No fun at all and hope it never comes back.
