The complications of shingles are:

Persistent pain in the area of the rash, long after the infection has healed (postherpetic neuralgia)
Bacterial infection of the rash ;
Scarring, though this is unusual;
White patches in the area of the rash (loss of pigment);
Involvement of the external ear, with occasional damage to the middle and inner ears, giving deafness and vertigo;
The Ramsayâ€“Hunt syndrome, which involves ear problems and paralysis of the facial nerve (Bell's palsy) on the same side;
Ulceration and permanent scarring of the surface of the eye (cornea);
Inflammation of some inner parts of the eye(uveitis: iris and ciliary body).
