Thanks for contacting ChatDoctorYou are concerned about your mother recently developing pain and a rash. This rash as you describe it sounds like shingles. Shingles is caused by the chicken pox virus and can re-emerge years later. The shingles are a red rash with blisters and moderate to severe pain in the rash area. This can be treated with antiviral medications and pain medications. I recommend that she seek medical attention immediately, so she can start treatment right away and get relief for the pain. Hope this answers your question. Please contact us again with your health care questions and concerns
