I had IBC in 2007, and now I have shingles. Can this reactivate the IBC?

The shingles is under the breast and the breast is looking alot like IBC!

I don't see any connection between IBC and Shingles ..... I'm guessing that your IBC was treated and "cured" in 2007. I hope that you have been diagnosed by your Physician of Shingles and are receiving the appropriate treatment. If you have any doubts as to whether this current condition is in any way related to your previous case of IBC then by all means consult your Breast Specialist for an evaluation. I don't see how IBC could be "reactivated" by another condition.  Kindest regards .....
