Suggest Treatment For Itchy Rashes On The Shoulders When Diagnosed With Shingles
I may have developed shingles while working out in the sun today. I have had an out break of cold sores on my lip since late last week, which happens once or twice a year. Pricking and rash has developed on my shoulder lats(inside). Would the vaccine help at this point or first thing tomorrow at the doctors? From the literature sun seems to be a trigger. -Mark

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to shingles.
I suggest using acyclovir cream for local application.
I also suggest using cetirizine to relieve the itching.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
