4. Diagnostic Procedure If your dermatologist is unsure whether you have shingles, he or she will scrape a little amount of fluid from a blister. In a laboratory, a doctor will analyse the fluid with a strong microscope. When you get shingles, the virus that causes it is present in the fluid. A shingles-like rash is indication that you have the condition.
