ok this is what's going on with my daughter. She's 17 yrs.old she had a stomach virus all day yesterday with vomiting and diarrhea. she might have had some fever last night for a short time. This morning she felt better but still weak some. She has on her left side (torso) a red spot about the size of the palm of your hand and it kind of looks like a rash (sort of) and a very small blister. she complained of pain and i couldn't touch it because she said it was so touchy. Well it looks like shingles. so i looked it up on the internet and read some about this. what I'm confused about is whether to go to the doctor or not. That is my question.

It hasn't got any bigger since this morning and that is the only spot. it is possible for her to have this because one of things i found reading about shingles on the internet said someone was prone to shingles if they had chickenpox before the age of 1 yr. well she had chicken pox when she was 8 weeks old.

well what do you suggest i do about it. Take her to the doctor? or does this clear up on it's own? thanks for any answers
