About Shingles
The first signs of shingles can be:
- A tingling or painful feeling in an area of skin.
- A headache or feeling generally unwell.
A rash will usually appear a few days later. In rare cases shingles can cause pain without a rash.
Usually you get the shingles rash on your chest and tummy, but it can appear anywhere on your body including on your face, eyes and genitals.
The rash appears as blotches on your skin, on 1 side of your body only. A rash on both the left and right of your body is unlikely to be shingles.

Ayoniza was very patient, informative and my daughter didn’t even realise she had been given the injection.

Great vacation experience. I arrived early and Daisy fitted me in so I didn't have to wait. She was clear and professional throughout. I genuinely didn't feel the needle go in. It was also a relatively large private room, thank you

Just popped in to get my holiday injections for myself and the family and Daisy was brilliant. She was professional, patient, and really reassuring throughout. I also had a banking issue when it came to paying, and she was completely understanding and trusting while I sorted it out. Excellent service.
