Is shingles contagious through the skin?

Shingles can be transmitted through the skin.
Herpes zoster is highly contagious when the blisters rupture; if the blisters have not yet appeared or the blisters are all crusted, they are often not contagious. Therefore, patients with herpes zoster should disinfect their own belongings, and family members are prohibited from mixing and using household items with patients to avoid infection.
