Shingles Recurring? What to Know About Multiple Shingles Outbreaks

No, it is not normal to have had shingles three times. Most people only get shingles once in their lifetime. However, people who have a weakened immune system, such as those with cancer or HIV/AIDS, may be more likely to get shingles multiple times.

If you have had shingles three times, it is important to see a doctor to discuss your immune system and to ensure that you are taking appropriate steps to prevent future outbreaks.
