11. Enlarged lymph nodes
Swollen lymph nodes are also likely in these patients. This is known in medical terms as lymphadenopathy, and it is located around the affected skin area. Other body parts are not taken. For instance, a patient with a herpes zoster skin rash around the ribs on the right side may develop enlarged lymph nodes in the right armpit. The left armpit and the groin will not develop lymph nodes. Enlarged lymph nodes may show up at any stage of the disease, except for the prodromal phase.
