Chickenpox and shingles both come from a single virus of the eight viruses of the herpes family, called Varicella-Zoster Virus.
“Mono and cold sores also are the types of herpes virus.”
Herpes zoster virus can lie sleeping in the nerve roots and later in life causes the Herpes Zoster virus also known as Shingles.
Herpes chicken pox causes itchy blisters or rash on affected area mainly on the trunk, face and scalp and in small quantity on the limbs.
