Is Shingle symptom of dangerous disease

2018-09-23 07:59:31
My partner was affected by chickn pox in his childhood days. Later he was affected by dengue few yrs back. Now he got shingles. Now im afraid that may lead to any life threatening diseases like cancer. Bcs while consulting dermatologist he said that shingles may due to stress or back to back travel or under taking chemotherapy or if immunity of a person is low. Some websites explained that it may leads to cancer. Can you please explain.
