[Concern] Has anyone had shingles on their finger??

My mother is 79 years old, and she has never had shingles nor has she received the vaccine yet.

 

Over the weekend, I suddenly felt pain in my thumb, like a splinter or a cut, so I looked at it, but there was no wound.

Is it like a slight blister? It was slightly bumpy and raised.

I didn't think about it at the time;; I just thought it was allergy symptoms and applied ointment first.

 

Today, there is no pain in the thumb, but there is pain in the index finger. Upon inspection, I see that the index finger has bumps similar to the thumb, protruding in a bumpy manner.

It's colorless and so finely textured that with presbyopic eyes, it's hard to see.

If you look closely, it definitely has a bumpy, uneven appearance. It looks like a blister, but maybe not;;

 

I haven't had shingles before;; I can't tell if this is shingles or not.

The pain is less than when the thumb hurts again, and the thumb also says there is no pain after just one day;;;;

 

Most shingles are thought to occur on the back or similar areas, but after checking online, I found out it can also occur on the fingers.

I'm suddenly scared.

It's so small that it doesn't show up in photos either, so I can't even show it to you;;;

Is it possible for the area affected by shingles to become painless within a day?

If this is shingles, which department should I go to? Dermatology? Or is it okay to first go to internal medicine in case of an emergency???

 

If you get shingles, will it all go away and should you get vaccinated???

Will the vaccine be effective if administered while infected?

 

Even though you're worried about shingles, you strongly avoid getting the vaccine;;;

I'm so worried;;;

Or could it be that it's not shingles but also that contact dermatitis causes similar raised bumps?

It feels like a slight shedding of old layers.

It's summer, so it's humid, and I've been handling water a lot these days...

 

If anyone has experienced shingles, please help~~ I was worried and couldn't sleep last night;;;
