Anyone know if there is a virus similar to Chicken Pox that affects your hair follicles?

I am getting very sore spots on my scalp, that are very painful until I remove all the hairs. Sometimes I am pulling up to 30 hairs out, and they will all look like they are infected on the roots. The spot itself burns like a chicken pox bump until all the hairs are out. I had chicken pox again when I was 31, and realize I am a candidate for shingles. I believe shingles affects the whole body though. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like you have shingles. Shingles affects your nervous system, especially around the top of the spinal cord at the back of your head, and down your spine.
