He had chicken pox as a child so its a possiblity. Also, he hasn't been taking good care of himself. His job has him working outside on the bridge (either welding or busting rivits) 12 hours a day six days a week and I know he hasnt been eating or sleeping well. He got into jail the other night as well so he might have been exposed to something but, again, I doubt it.
What do you all think?
It sound like your boyfriend needs a vacation!
This Shingles Slideshow and this Adult Skin Problems Slideshow may be helpful. To get definite diagnosis for this problem and also to talk about his stress level and overall health please have him see his doctor.
Hoping you find answers soon and please let us know what you find out,
