Shingles can be anywhere as of course nerves are everywhere. If caught within 24 hours there is medicine to take which is in the article.

I had shingles in the head which did not come out. My cousin had shingles on her face caught that in time and took the medicine and it really did its job. That's what she would do again if she ever had shingles again. I would too if I would have been smart at the time and found out what was causing such agony. Another cousin had them and they went into her eye and did some damage. Then there are those who have them like around the rib cage (maybe more common there). That's where I thought you always got them but not true.
