Good evening Dr. Rynne, I just returned from a graduation party for my granddaughter and while we were on the road my husband was itching his back on the car seat like an old bear... upon getting home and getting a look at the problem I was pretty sure he has...shingles...red blotches on his back which are running around on front of his stomach and there are signs of blistering. I was going to put cool compresses on him, after some calamine lotion...etc., etc.. I'll use gloves since my health isn't that great either. Can you advise with more detail. Thank you, Carolyn Knutsen
