Conclusion
Shingles are caused by the same virus that causes chicken pox. Its major symptom is rash, and this can appear different on black and brown skin than on white skin. Although the symptoms and effects are the same for both skins. It is important to see your doctor if you think you have shingles, the earlier you start treatment the faster you recover.
