How long do you have shingles for?

Hi. The Pain from shingles can last for many months. The only time Shingles is infectious is while the rash is wet... once it is dry you can not p Chickenpox to anyone. You can not p shingles on but the fluid from the rash can give people who haven't had it chickenpox . Any one who has had chickenpox can not catch anything from someone with shingles.
