About a week ago I awoke with a severe bruised feeling on the left side of my groin and noticed the beginings of a rash. In the next couple days the rash worsened so I went to the doctor. He informed me that it was shingles and that the rash followed along a nerve that wraps from the groin to the lower abdomen. From what Ive read online, not much has mentioned this as a common area for shingles. Still the doctor seemed sure that this is what it was.

Yes, you can get shingles on your genitals. The symptoms are very similar to genital herpes. If you have bumps or sores on your genitals, it is important to see your health care provider for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Shingles will look like water blisters and will be itchy at first. The sooner you get into a doctor, the better possibility you will be able to get the shot that lessens the pain. Usually, shingles is on a nerve path--like the small of your back, or along one side of your torso.
