My mom is about 60 and has been diagnosed with Shingles. It all started with back pain last Sunday and within a week, red rashes appeared on her back. We initially assumed it was due to the hot weather, but our family doctor confirmed it's Shingles. She's been in a lot of pain and says it's burning. We're pretty worried about it. Should we consult a skin specialist for this? What should we do next?
