Anyone know if there is a virus similar to Chicken Pox that affects your hair follicles?

Question

I am getting very sore spots on my scalp, that are very painful until I remove all the hairs. Sometimes I am pulling up to 30 hairs out, and they will all look like they are infected on the roots. The spot itself burns like a chicken pox bump until all the hairs are out. I had chicken pox again when I was 31, and realize I am a candidate for shingles. I believe shingles affects the whole body though. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

go see a doc

Answer 2

Sounds like you have shingles. Shingles affects your nervous system, especially around the top of the spinal cord at the back of your head, and down your spine.
