I get it every year. YES, every freaking year. I usually get it at the very beginning of the summer, when I first get out in the sun. First time was 3rd grade.
The good news is it's never been larger than a half dollar.
It started at the bottom of my hairline on the back right side of my neck. Every year, it comes back a little lower, evidently traveling along a nerve. This year it is right in the middle of the back of my neck, and worse than I've had it in a VERY long time.
I don't know of any other cases in young people that are recurring like mine.
When I first got it, they didn't know what it was. When it came back, they said it couldn't be shingles. Well, that was about 20 years ago...
Let me tell you how bad that sucks! It hurts!
