How Can Shingles Be Treated?

I contracted shingles 6 weeks ago. The inflammation is gone but my abdomen still feels “prickly” and irritated, yet the skin itself is numb. Does this disease at the onset manifest itself internally, perhaps with swelling also? Is it ‘normal’ to have discomfort for so long and for the skin to lose it’s feeling?

Welcome to HealthCare Magic
I have worked through your attached query in detail and can certainly understand your concern.
Many of your symptoms are directly related to the late effects of shingles. These symptoms will gradually resolve in the due course of time. These abnormal sensations are a part of the illness and nothing to worry much. Please check with your physician if he/she shares my view and if can prescribe these medications/tests/opinion to you.
