Hi everyone my son went to the doctor today and has been told he's got shingles he's 16 and lastnight I had touched were part of his rash was when I was checking what it could be,he us fine in himself and they told him it should clear up on it's own but I am really stressing in case I get it which sounds awful as I'm obviously concerned about my son but he's not worried and my so called friend just told me you can die from it so now my head is all over please tell me this is all getting blown out of proportion!!
