She should be under the care of a physician. Shingles is a recurrence of the chickenpox virus. It remains dormant in the nerves for decades. It is painful, and extremely damaging if it goes into the eye -- she could loose her sight. So, scare her a little and get her in to see a physician

Shingles are quite painful, I know because I've had them.
