Suggest Treatment For Persistent Pain In The Back And Itchy Rashes
I had parathyroid tumor removed a week and half ago and about 6 days after I woke up with terrible pain in my back on right side. I have developed an itching rash. I don t have any blisters. Could it be shingles. Alive helps with the pain. If so should Insee my Dr?

Hello,
As per your history, it may be due to dermatitis.
For that you can take tablet loratidine for itching.
You can apply hydrocortisone ointment locally.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Do regular physical therapy.
In case of not getting relief you may require MRI back after orthopedician consultation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
