Suggest Treatment For Rashes On The Left Leg Caused By Shingles
I was diagnosed with shingles. Rash was only on the back of my left leg. Small silver dollar size area. Doctor cleared me a week ago. Said rash was scabbed over and I should be fine. Suddenly, I started having bad headaches for about a week. Then I noticed rash on my back. Can t see it well but this time it itches rather than painful. Could it be shingles again. Can it recurr again so soon?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to shingles. I recommend using acyclovir ointment for local application.
I also recommend using acyclovir tablets for oral use. In case of pain, you can use painkillers such as Ibuprofen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
