Its my understanding you can get shingles wherever on your body you have nerves. It is essentially an infection of the nerves cause by the dormant chicken pox virus that you had when you were much younger. My sister has been battling this very same thing since before last Christmas. Hers is finally starting to clear up..after months of pain and itching...we were afraid at one time she was going to lose her eye!!
