In most cases, shingles Ringworm - not only infectious disease   It develops as a result of low immunity in people who have had chicken pox as a child. In this case the herpes zoster virus begins to multiply actively in the nerve ganglia, then "comes to the surface" - penetrates the skin epithelial cells, causing inflammation.
