Hi. As per your case history of shingles, my treatment advice is - 1. It is not related to nystatin. It is a viral infection. 2. Apply a mild antibiotic cream like fusiderm cream twice daily on it. 3. Take a NSAID like ibuprofen for pain for 7-10 days. 4. Other treatment options are oral antibiotics, oral acyclovir taken only after consulting a dermatologist.
Thanks. Dr. Harshit bhachech. MBBS, DDVL.
