Suggest Treatment For Shingles Caused Post A Bee Sting
Can a bee sting lead to shingles? I was stung one week ago and have had no relief from itching. In fact, today it got worse. I looked and the sting portion is getting smaller and less red, but now adjacent to the site I have red vesicles in the same area I had shingles in the past.

Hi welcome to the health care magic
Just now you are having inflammation reaction secondary to insect bite
If herpes shingle present than pain usually there and vesicles present more than one in number
For severe inflammation if needed steroid course might needed like that by betamethasone 0.5 mg..
For inflammation relief antihistaminic drug prescribed
Your CBC can be done for work up... If herpes in doubt cytology examination from scraping can be done
Take care
Consult physician for examination
