Hi.
As per your case history of shingles, my treatment advice is -
1. It is a contagious disease. So maintain isolation.
2. Drink plenty of water and don't squeeze the lesions.
3. Apply a soothing lotion like calamine lotion on affected region twice daily.
4. Oral antiviral like acyclovir and NSAID need to be started only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks.
