        Shingles complications are not that common, but that does not make them non - existent, nor easy to ignore. Actually, there two types of shingles complications: those that are relatively not dangerous for the health of the patient and those that should raise a red flag immediately.

        From the first category of shingles complications, the most likely to occur is cellulitis. If you are thinking about the cellulitis that all women hate, then you would be very wrong. In this case, cellulitis is a subcutaneous skin infection that is caused by bacteria.

        How could bacteria enter the lower layers of the epidermal tissue? Easy. More precisely, a bacterium penetrates easily through the shingles pustules and carves its way down until it reaches its destination. Once it has arrived at its target, it will develop. The outside sign of this type of shingles complications is the clear liquid turning murky and white.

        There is only one are of the body that might be considered dangerous for the shingles to develop on: the face. Why would make it so perilous? Imagine the virus that causes shingles attacking the eyes or the nose of the affected person. That never ends well. Basically, if this virus finds its way into something as fragile as the eyes, it could very well destroy them completely. This is the moment when a shingles complication should really be attended to with urgency.

        Shingles complications may lead to deterioration of the eye and inner ear. Inflammation of the cornea or inside the eye often have serious sequelae; secondary glaucoma, blindness and poor hearing.

        If the meninges are infected, tissues or central nervous system (brain and spinal cord), shingles can cause paralysis of the motor in certain areas of the head and extremities. This is a serious Shingles complication.
