Diagnosed With Shingles, No Rash But Itching All Over, Benadryl Does Relieve It. Is This Right ?
Hello. Im 45 and in good health. Not on any medications except thyroid. Never been allergic to anything nor do I have allergies. I have been diagnosed with shingles by two doctors. The thing that really confusses me is I have no rash and I itch all over...I had shingles as a teen in 11th grade. It was honorable with blisters and was just something you never forget. So when I went to the doctor and he said shingles it was somewhat puzzling. Not because of the no rash but because I itch all over. Can this be shingles with me itching all over..its random and intense and benadryl does relieve it..
hi shingles causes blisters in groups in the dematomal pattern.it will be burning and painful rather than itching.it cannot be shingleswith just itching.benadryl can be sufficient but use amoisteriser regularly all over the body
