Pretty much gotta just ride it out. Some topicals can help and maybe a cortisone shot.

I hope your case is short term in nature.

Go to your doctor ASAP! He can give you Zovirax which will cut the severity and duration!

If blistering, stay away from others, go see the doc and get some Lyrica for the pain.


MAGA! This is the way!

+1, Do it ASAP. BTDT, shingles are/can be really, really nasty s hit. Worse than the worst can case of 'roids.
Post herpatic neuralgia can, and does occur. Trust me, no fun.

This, start meds within 72 hours of symptoms or face increased risks of post herpetic neuralgia and a life of misery subsequently.

See your doc in the AM or hit the ER. Post herpetic neuralgia can fughk the rest of ones life up to the point of suicide.

Tell the office girls you have a dr friend who told you it is shingles and said you have to get in like now.

If they wont, hit the ER.

I'm sorry to hear that, Craig. It causes unrelenting pain and suffering, for years.
