What Are Shingles' Symptoms?
Hi I have a itchy painful rash over my sternum area that also has small blisters. Very painful to the touch. It's longer than it is wider. Been on amoxycillian for a while due to a couple of teeth abcesses. Just would like to know if I should call my doc....possible shingles?

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
The symptoms are probably related to shingles.
I suggest using Acyclovir cream for local application.
I also suggest using Acyclovir tablets three times a day for a week.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
