Beside shingles, others skin viral infection is Herpes simplex viruses that cause outbreaks on the skin and mucous membranes. After the initial infection, the virus travels to a nerve cell and becomes dormant. Primary infection is caused by direct contact with an infected individual. I think that Pityriasis rosea is also a viral infection.
