What Causes A Small Rash On Skin With A History Of Shingles?

Brief Answer:
should see to your doctor
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Welcome to Healthcaremagic.com. I have read your query. I understand your concern.
Shingles also known as Herpes zoster can have recurrent attacks. Usually the episode is precipitated by immunosuppression, weather change , trauma or environmental change.
If you have XXXXXXX vesicles, then neosporin may help. I prefer to advise oral antifungals like Acyclovir / Valacyclovir within 24 - 48hours of onset of rash so as to minimise the possibility of recurrent attack and Post herpetic neuralgia.
I would advise you to visit your doctor so that he can examine you and give you prescription. You can share my opinion with him. I hope it helps. Take care.
