Hello,
Some advice that I can give to you is:
-Take antiviral medicine called Acyclovir. You will take the first dose within 24 hours of developing the rash. Then you will take a tablet 5 times a day for 7 days.
-Try not to scratch the blisters.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
