swimmers and an outbreak of shingles

Last Thursday I found out I have shingles. I'm wondering if other swimmers have experienced this and how long did your outbreak last, and how long did you have to stay out of the water?

  • Last Thursday I found out I have shingles. I'm wondering if other swimmers have experienced this and how long did your outbreak last, and how long did you have to stay out of the water? A few years back I had it - minor outbreak in a bathing suit area. My physician said I was okay to swim but just not to do skin to skin touch with young kids. Didn't have to worry about that. Hope it helps.
