### Human:\ncan shingles appear on both sides of the face? . my blisters are concentrated at my hairline upper lip nose (which is very swollen ) and both of my cheeks. i do not have a fever or chills but do have an upset stomach. i have tingling pain and itching at the same time. if not shingles what else could it be?\n\n### Assistant: yes it can be on both sides. i had heard that it couldn't but have just been diagnosed and it is on both sides of my face. it's not common but it can happen.
