Yes, you can get shingles on his arm. They are very contagious until the blisters dry, just the chicken pox virus from the same cause of both. Keep the area covered and the children of the elderly and very young and may be the ones primarily or is pregnant. Go to your MD or a clinic in the cream, add (Zovirax) to treat them. Chop, avoid scratches. It can cause severe pain, take aspirin, try either Tylenol or Motrin as directed, if necessary. Hope this helps. Good luck.
