Shingles Sep 5, 2001 When I was in the sixth grade I broke out with shingles in my right eye. I am 19 now, and recently had another brake out in early April of this year on my right jaw bone. Both brake outs were localized. Should I be worried about an underlined cause such as cancer or aids? |

Response from Dr. Feinberg
 People without cancer or HIV also get shingles. If you have no other problems, the likelihood that these 2 episodes mean that you have a serious underlying disease is pretty remote. |
