ringworm and shingles are totally different!!!
LOOK: Shingles are red and pink bumps and Ringworm is a circular patch with a round mildly raised edge
Causes: Shingles are an exacerbation of the chickenpox virus that goes on the nerve Ringworm is a skin disorder you get from an animal or direct contact with another person with it. It is a fungus I think
Shingles hurt like he** and ringworm is painfree.

Ringworm is a fungal infection of the skin usually appearing in a somewhat circular pattern that causes intense itching. Shingles is caused by the chicken pox virus. You cannot have shingles if you have not had chicken pox. The virus lays dormant in the nerve roots, for some reason is triggered, travels to the nerve endings and you have shingles. It is found on only one side of the body and an almost exact line can be drawn, you have a blistery rash and intense nerve pain and it is not limited to the elderly.

I had Shingles for the first time a few weeks ago. I am normally in good health and haven't had any other health challenges before, so it came as a surprise.
Shingles is probably the most painful thing I have ever encountered. I went to the doctor, and he gave me some prescription drugs to take that was suposed to help, but didn't.
My wife found the Fast Shingles Cure ebook online and bought it for me, I am very lucky to have such a wonderful woman in my life. We followed the book, did what it said, and it delivered what it promised. Finally my Shingles rash is over... I feel truly blessed and thankful.

Shingles is a unilateral,inflammatory, vesicular eruption caused by a virus which attacks the posterior root ganglion, and causes the skin eruption secondarily along a cranial nerve or spinal nerve.
Ring worm: This is a superficial fungus infection of the skin caused by fungi - a non photosynthetic vegetable parasite
Both are skin diseases.

Eczema patients can avoid scratchy fibers for softer ones like bamboo, cotton, or silk, which are gentler on the skin. Opting to buy organic fibers can also be a wise, healthy, and eco-friendly alternative. Learn here https://tr.im/gxwFn
